[dohca]

what do you guys use for your cross member?
do you use a custom one or a factory item?

and pan hard rods, what do you use? what tips can you give me if i was looking at spending 1000ish on suspension?

cheers

get a w55 gearbox xmember out of most cars with w boxes so it looks kinda like this

and just cut it a little bit and reweld it so it comes down a little bit deeper and needs 2 wholes redrilled


$1000 on suspension? is it for track / drift use?
if so $500 on TRD race spec friends (if you want this price PM me )
and $500 on shocks,
and u'd probably want to replace all bushes

Mines just made from scratch, i was going to use the centre from the factory w5* crossmember but with the nite parts bell housing the gear box is on an angle so was just easier to use a flat steal plate and the rubber mounts that it came with, then welded that plate (while on angle) onto a steal bar which is then mounted to the standard bolt holds on the transmission tunnel.

Best to use the t50 and w5* crossmembers as templates for the bolt holes though.

Hope that made sense lol.

Mine basically sits the mount to the rear of the standard crossmember, this is for a W55 and 18RGEU into a KE70. Will try to get photos on the weekend.
