Tanabe Sustec Pro w/Helper springs............wouldnt be my choice of coils but hey they will do you good

nice upgrade to do all at once! ur gonna feel a huge difference!

E ʻōlelo mālie

If you were to do it all over again, my 'lowered'; what would you do differently, if anything?

Please tell me your opinion's of the helper springs... when I threw the kits together they seemed really flimsy... I dunno. But from what I've read the Type I's were better than the Type II's??

Way to go Dustin!

Suspension Techniques Front & Rear Sway Bars w/ Poly Bushings
Twos R' Us Endlinks

My jealousy knows no bounds. Lolol jk man, that's some good stuff right there!!

Hector - I didn't mean to one up you... just bad timing is all... hahahaha.

LOL no, I understand! And for the record, I got a GT-Four bar, you got all this. You five upped me.

Bad news bro... I've had a GT-Four bar for a long time now... 6 upped... lol.

JK!

I hate you so big right now.

Man that's awesome. Pics of install please, good sir.

key kaos i have the same coilovers. i have read that the type 1's are better, which makes sence because they are more expensive. some people actually have converted their type 2's to type 1's by adding in the helper spring. the disadvantage to it is the lowest you can go is 2.5" front and 2.0" rear, not low enough for 808. and you probably are not going to lower as much as it can go, leave at least 5 threads. this is a quality coilover tho, and the only one for 6gc that is completely made in japan, tein actaully outsources some of their parts. everything fits perfectly, on other coilovers the brake line bracket needs adjusting, but not for these. the solid top mounts are quiet unlike pillowball such as cusco. the spring rates are good, not too stiff, not too soft. comfort isn't bad as long as the road is somewhat smooth, but obviously stiffer than a spring/strut combo.

nice!
i'm looking into buying coilovers or struts/springs but dunno where to look.
what are some good sites?

speak slowly??

Yeah, i dunno about the whole idea of the helper springs, but then again the goals I want out of a coil system is different Its just the body cant be adjusted and the range of height is so so. The springs rates are what? 8/6 something like that, so that part of it is fine
Im kinda 50/50 with Tanabe and Yes the Type I supposively better that Type II's. I guess we'll all have to wait for your full review

:lol: Yeah speak slowly... You are the ground master and I am here to learn, but I'm a little slow in the head, so speak slowly. Hahaha.

What would happen if I took out the helper springs? Obviously I would get a better drop, but is it safe?

Nahh the whole system is design with the helper springs. I got new things on order myself but that will have to wait

Pft - tease!

hi, does anybody know if the FRONT sway bar fits into a 5th celica?


thanks

i had a set of those coilovers.. it's too bad the roads here are crap, or else i would've kept them.

Was there a particular reason that your helper springs are installed opposite they're supposed to be, Gerald?

... does it really matter?
