The Tein fits

Short update: the Tein fits with some modifications.

While I’m uploading the pictures, I’ll try to list the mods needed.

1. The rear shocks are almost perfect fit. I had to dial the rears down around 45mm to get the height right.

2. The rear upper mounts have thicker threads. AW11 has 3x M8 and SW20 has 3x M10. The pattern is almost identical, so I resorted to drilling.

3. The rear needs SW20 camber adjustment bolts.

4. The Tein rear upper mounts need to be slightly cut.

5. I can’t remember what I did with the sway bar links. I might have mixed and matched two from AW11 and two from the Tein kit.

6. Fronts needed Toda upper mounts + upper mount nuts.

7. One additional washed was taken from Toda set. This one should be hardware store stuff.

8. Front knuckle mount needs an adapter. Can’t remember the exact thickness just now.

9. AW11 front knuckle mount bolts are M12, while SW20 are M14. I did few washers to get the holes to align correctly. Front camber adjustment is a mess after this. I’ll try to build a better adapter for the front.

10. Front left and right shock need to be swapped.

11. I had to grind some paint off from the brake line supports.

12. It runs pretty good 😀
