Lowering Springs, TRD Lowered Springs or Tein S Tech Options

[Red123]

Hello guys.
What would you recommend me for lowering the car? TRD or Tein Springs? or any other brand?
What's your opinions?

Thanks

id get the S tech's there good springs, alittle stiffer than stock and have a decent ride. they dont lower your car alot but they are good to cut as much as 1 coil in the front and 1.5 coils in the rear and they still maintain a good spring rate. they also go really well with kyb GR-2 struts...

""""my hardcore friends that had teins never like them as did I on my first mile of driving it.
another member here on another thread just mentioned his KYBs and Tein springs are bouncing like crazy and is now looking for something else, just another note.
and thats springs, springs should feel more comfy.""""

they only do that if you forget to trim your bump stops like a pillock. if your riding on your bump stops you will bounce because you will then be riding on rubber. your hardcore friends seem super hardcore, brah.

nope thats not the problem, you have to remember, tein coilovers dont drop that much if you look at the recommended drop heights, most people just force it to drop low. but my friends cars weren't dropped low like they might as well use springs. I fully understand the bump stop part, suspension is one of the major things I work on these days. If you know Teins, you'll know their dampers and spring rates are not that great because its made for Japan roads that go slow or rarely any bumps. US and other places have crazy roads.

Myself, i can tell the difference because I owned many different suspensions and installed many for friends, so I can REALLY tell. I owned 3 suspension setups for my 6gc, 2 setups on my 7gc, (ALL DIFFERENT BRANDS) and many for the supras back in my day. Have you tried other suspension springs or coilovers yet and different brands?

I absolutely hate my tein lowering springs. I bottom out all the time. The handling could be much better. They just made a passable budget spring that sounds good on paper but sucks on the street. Save up for some proper coilovers.

Exactly what I mean, however, I think you are one of the many who are dissatisfied, but just doublecheck you have bump stops still there and cut off one ring.
