I will come back on the super strur suspension during the summer if i can get an ss3 for advice on coilovers

The megan coilovers sound good but I would say they would have to be set up to stiff for our roads otherwise the car will bounce all over the place. And if he has to go for a stiff ride maybe he should get the k-sports that come with a year garantee.

He would like to go through a retailer because then he'll get a warranty but if he gets them online he might not, so he will probably have to choose between the two I mentioned. But if there was a more comfortable set available Im sure he wouldnt mind taking a chance on them

Another question I have was about the super strut suspension on the ssIII's, I am looking into buying one- a 98 jap import. But I read that the super strut suspension is troublesome and expensive to fix. A guy I know who had one had his ss suspension collapse and because the parts were so expensive/hard to get he had to put the car off the road for a few months before he could get it fixed, but what I wanted to know is if it can be replaced by buying and fitting a set of coilovers or is there more to the setup?

Thanks for any replies

Yeah I read your post about them, they sound cool. I wasnt actually aware you could adjust the soft-hard settings I thought that coilovers were either hard or soft and you could just adjust the height.

Hey Guys

My friend wanted me to ask you guys for your recommendations on a set of coilovers for his 94 GT, we figured this would be the right place to ask as you guys have them on your cars so know what you are talking about, all that seems to be available here in the shops in Ireland are tein super streets or k sport coilovers. Every shop he goes to try to sell him the tein ss, they dont seem to know anthing about suspension.

I have read all the posts in the suspension forum but could only find mention about megan coilovers

We have read bad things about the tein ones being more for track use. The roads here in Ireland where we live are terrible and the stock suspension is a bit cruel on your back as it is. So he is looking for a comfortable set of coilovers that wont break your back over bumps, preferably with at least a 40-60 mil drop.

I've read about the Tein Comfort series ones but the overall opinion is that they are overpriced and you are only paying for the name. He tried lowering it with just springs before but the rubbing was unbearable as the roads everywhere are uneven so he went back to stock so naturally now he wants to do the drop properly on a set of coilovers

He was quoted 1000 euro for a set of the super streets/k sports so his budget would be around that figure not including fitting if that helps!

Thanks in advance for any replies

Okay cheers buddy

Hey Guys

My friend asked me to find out for him wheter or not the GT-Four raiser blocks would fit on a gen 6 Celica GT its a Jap Import. The guy in Toyota here in Ireland told him they wouldnt.

Any help much appreciated
