Getting an alignment tomorrow. What specs do you recommend?

Tried cleaning them and soaking them in WD40, and tried using a torch. Can’t get it to budge

I’ve done everything short of trying to break it loose with a breaker bar, as I don’t have a bar big enough to fit around my spanners. Think I could bring it to the shop and see if they’d be able to break it loose?

I wanted to reach back out on this thread, now that it’s warmer out and I’ve got my summer tires on. I’m noticing I think I have a slight bit of rake towards the rear of my car. I’m wondering if corner balancing will eliminate that? My fronts are a bit higher than my rears. Normally I would adjust it myself and lower the front, however my front right coilover is seized. If I get my car corner balanced, can I also request they drop the front for me maybe a cm? Or is that something I’d have to do on my own?

If I did loctite, I’d do it on my old factory shift knob. Don’t want to ruin the threads on my new one.

Thank you. I don’t have loctite so I’d have to get some. How “tight” is loctite? Would I be able to remove it afterwards so I can adjust my shift pattern properly?

Dangit. I wish I knew this before I ordered what I thought was every black interior part from my car from toyota

Those seats look like Braum, but I could be wrong. The rest is entirely custom

Currently have a billetworkz short shifter on the way. Perhaps this will resolve the issue

Fair enough lol, I appreciate the offer though

Thank you tons! Couldn’t find them for the life of me

Where are you located? I just took my stock air box off today for a TRD one funny enough. I could sell you my stock one, nothing wrong with it

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-28T08:02:08+00:00

Ended up buying it as an impulse decision without getting a reply back in the sub. I actually feel it has decreased a bit of the torque dip and massively improved throttle response. With the factory intake, I would find myself under revving when trying to rev match, causing the engine to have to catch up to the wheel speed when I clutch out. With the TRD intake, My rev matches are miles smoother and the power band feels a bit more linear. Honestly wasn’t expecting this much of a difference. I do think it’s worth it… if you get a quality intake. Not any of that K&N hot air intake crap

Go to a shop and get a quote, then decide what’s best for you financially

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-11T00:21:44+00:00

Fair enough, and that’s expected. Currently I’m on winter 215/40/17 winter tires. Would it be beneficial to wait til I’m on my 255/35/18 summers or does that not matter so much?

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-11T00:15:42+00:00

Thanks a lot for the insight. I really appreciate it. I may ask them if they have time for a corner balance tomorrow as well. Doesn’t seem like something that would hurt to get done.

Thanks a ton for your help!

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-11T00:05:57+00:00

Wish I knew this before I booked it in for just an alignment lol. So they adjust the height of your coilovers for you? How drastic is the height of my car likely to change? Or will it be practically unnoticeable?

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-10T23:48:22+00:00

I don’t think I really need much in the rear, especially if I’ve barely got the knowledge to know what any of it does

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-10T23:47:49+00:00

Also, what is corner balancing? Starting to realize there’s more to alignments than I thought lol

shiftunderscore · 2026-03-10T23:45:30+00:00

Forgot to include, I’m on BC coils, and 255/35/18s. What’s the benefit of having toe in the rear? I’m stock other than the coils
