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

Thanks

TEIN SUCKS PERIOD I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS thats my opinion...If that is someone's idea of their best standard of quality, I'd love to see their reaction with trying something better. Teins are low end to me. Teins are ok at best or just under that. I dont have the most expensive brand suspension only the ones over a thousand dollars ones on all my cars, but my friends have the more expensive ones, but they love how mine rides better. They always say you drive like its still stock, as I am slamming all the bumps and potholes, feels regular like its not dropped. The first thing I asked my wife when she drove the 7gc was how does the car feeel? She says why, the same? then i told her cus I changed the suspension. She said oh i thought it was still stock, in terms of feel. These are BC coilovers, when i first put on my Tein coilovers, I literally took that $hit off the same day. I'd hate to see her reaction on that.

I had Teins COILOVERS, so Im not sure what you are talking about, they are crap crap crap crap, bouncy as hell, they were brand new only dropped 1.2 inches. Imagine these are their coilovers not their springs. All my friends ran teins with all their cars, now they are using the brands I use. ive bought PLENTY different coilover brands for my cars, 3 lowering springs, and installed many others for different cars, they react also different in other cars, but the bottom line is that in each car, i want certain expectations or any brand to meet my standards. Also just let you know besides their crap spring rates and dampers, their adjustability features are crap, and their stiffest setting cant even beat my half adjusted settings on mine. I dont know why defend teins when no one has their coilvers here if any, only springs, and even at that, you already see some say its okay, and you already see some on this same thread say they were dissatisfied. but then again some people say they are good cus 1, they havent tried anything else, and 2, cus they want to defend where their money went. If they were a good product youd get consistent answers. All my friends Teins cars, I always say your suspension sucks and they'll agree everytime with me. i had TRD springs at one point with super dead struts, and they never bottomed out, thats another example that Tein spring rates for their springs are weak.

you should buy it and try it out and let us know how it rides, then you could ride with another 6gc who has megans or bc's and realize you wasted your money. TRUST me you can really notice the difference between the good budget coilovers and the wanna be people who force themselves to run the Japan brand name to be JDM, whatever. Im just as JDM as the next guy, you can look in my profile for sure, but then you are going to wonder why somethings i buy aren't japanese parts because of quality purposes. I go to Japan frequently and you'd understand that alot of their products are made for Japan not US, but more importantly their coilovers.

you just sound stupid period.
and looking at your other posts in the other topics, leads me to believe that you have no idea what the f**k your talking about.

I've also ridden and driven bc's and megan's both bouncy. its how you adjust your struts brooha
