TiTAN Suspension for Toyota Corolla KE70
Day 6 - Installation Starts (22 Sep 03)
Mr How called around 11am to ask about where is the location to mount the brake hose bracket. He needs to see the car and ask me to bring it over during lunch.
Less than 5 minutes later Mr How called again to say leave the car there after that and they'll install it. Wow, this is unexpected as they originally estimate as least as early as 24 Sep evening.
Since I'm at work and cannot go. So I called Bill Sherwood again to ask if he can come to my work place, which is KLCC and help me drive the car to TiTAN. Thank goodness Bill Sherwood was free for the day and he is interested to see how TiTAN work on cars. While I go after work by LRT and Taxi.

Old Front Coilover. It is known at this point that most of the stroke / lea-way is actually on the helper spring only. :( bad bad bad!!!
Rear Old Combination / Setup
When I reach around 8 pm it was not finished. Far from it.
The first problem: -
The second problem: -
There are no suitable coil for the rear. Some coil will need to be modified or a coilover solution may be required. However using coilover means the rear absorber bracket will not be strong enough to hold the extra amount of energy multiplied by G forces. Therefore new brackets need to be fabricated to suite the application.
It's late, so I told them that I will leave the car in the workshop for them to work on it tomorrow instead of taking it home now. That's the only sensible and understanding thing to do. For me and for them.
Richard gave Bill Sherwood and I a lift back to PJ.
