Not gonna argue with you about it :lol: That topic has been done to death on this forum and others and tbh I don't actually care whether they're good or not.

Nice JZX though.

I gave the car a better check over and it all looks standard, which is still surprising considering how well it goes!

The springs MUST be aftermarket since they are pretty stiff, they are just black so hard to identify. And the Apexi panel filter filter.

- ECU is standard, no sign of a piggy back.
- Still has restrictive downpipe and cat converter.
- Front swaybar is 27mm which must be standard since after market is 30mm.
- Intercooler sidemount is standard.
- Actuator doesn't appear to be an adjustable one like HKS designs.


Still very surprised with the performance 8) Planning a free flow exhaust now.
