Hi all,
Once again my suspension is just utter ****. 8-9 years ago I started off with Eibach ProKit Springs (1inch drop), with stock struts. Those road fine but noticed the travel of the suspension was causing my tires to bottom. Ok, so I wanted some stiffer aftermarket struts.... order blistein struts; bad choice. Waaay to stiff and always klunking (and yes replaced the strut mounts). At this point I don't know what to blame the springs or the struts..... but enough is enough. I would like to have my suspension feel "stock" (i.e not stiff), without changing my ride height from the 1" drop. I realize that having 18" wheels introduces it's own problems, I accept that. So my plan is to order either KYB or Monroe struts, and replace my springs with 1" drop aftermarket springs. The problem is Eibach doesn't make the 1" drop ProKit Springs anymore. So, does anyone have recommendations on a Very Good aftermarket spring brand (that offers 1" drop)? Want a brand that'll last for years and not give me a "harsh" ride quality. If this makes a night/day difference, I'll proceed to replace all the suspension bushings (no poly... just new stock parts). Thanks, utslickvic -------------------- |

http://m.ebay.com/itm/271652105083?nav=SEARCH Here you go sir! Brand new TRD springs for our celica. I ordered mine a few months ago I have not yet installed them I also ordered KYB g2 struts all 4 for 212$ via Amazon. Ordered all strut mounts KYB replacements for under 200$ via eBay. They are legit TRD sprigs as well. Better get them fast before they all are gone! Don't take this the wrong way, but for this price why not go with Meagan E-Z coil-overs. I'm sure your ride will be good with all new KYB struts/mounts and TRD springs, but you will have zero adjustability. I just think if you are going to replace everything why not go for a better upgrade? |
