[808celica]

which one is for the front and which one is the rear???




skinny spring


fat spring

[6_GEN]

The wide ones are for the front,and the cristmas tree is the rears.

[mrgt4]

take your old ones off and see. lol

i think the fat ones go on the front.... as there is more weight at the engine, but ive never taken off the suspension on a celica

[808celica]

lol k thanks

[purplegt4]

ooOooh are those real?

[808celica]

yes they are. came with stickers insrtuctions and a warranty thing. plus this other thing.

if you go to tein.com there is a link that will show you how to tell if the springs or any tein named product is fake or legit.

Congrats mate. As I see you have the same issue as I had with my springs



I have used ''narrow'' ones for rear:



And ''fat'' ones for front:



both with wider base down... that means like this / \ not like this \ /

[808celica]

OMG you read my mind man. thanks. now the decision to put them on with my stock shock????? should i or should i not. i cant wait 3 weeks for new shocks. I WANT THEM ON NOW!!!! and before the next celica meet where my car will be all painted nice shiny butt black.

still bothering me...........wait 3 weeks or out them on go half butt now and do it right in 3 weeks???

thanks again malpaso.

I have used stock shocks because tanabe made those springs for them. They recommend cut ''bump rubber'' only.



If you want see part one and part two of installation manual for more info.

note: just in case If you are afraid of that part of spring where are coils more close together (because of knocking) the same way as I was let me show you my solution

[DEATH]

Holy crap I need those. Where did you get them, how much were they and are there any more available?
You rock martin

Just like me, i wanna install mine ASAP, but the thing is, i am going to wait to get the KYB gas shocks/struts, because if you think about it, you gotta remove your struts anyway and then install the spring and then put it all back in your car. Why not get a new set and put the springs on, and then put it in your car all at once so you won't have to worry about it later. PLUS lowering your car with stock shocks, you've a chance to blow them too eh, and it'll probably be a bit of a bumpy ride.
I'm gonna be ordering my KYB's at the end of this month. Just make sure you got rebuildables or sealed in your front.

[808celica]

i know i got sealed ones. even though if i have rebuildables and i order sealed it wouldnt make much difference??? or would it???

but yeah where can i get those trd insulators??? i noticed brown ones on the teins too.

3 weeks though. i dont think they're gonna blow in 3 weeks. 1 week of not driving it cuz of paint project. and 2 weeks of barely driving it shouldnt hurt??

but yeah it is smart to wait..............but my friggin finger is so damn itchy to get these on

[malpaso]

I have those insulators from one TRD supplier. I just send part number of proper size from here and done . As the matter of fact I have them for sale now (do not know if with tanabe springs only or separately... it depends on interest) but first of all I must fit my new suspension kit

HAHAH, thikn about what i feel dude!! My tein springs are just sitting there in the box collecting dust, and i have a pair of cusco front mounts coming to me on wednesday! I'm dying to get my KYBs and get them all installed asap! My car looks like a damn rally car right now (good thing I didn't put on my gt4 front end yet)
