Hey all,
I've done a search for the topic but there doesn't appear to have been any information on it. So has anyone encountered any problems with getting/fitting aftermarket springs on to superstrut suspensions? I'm particularly interested in getting the Eibach Sportline springs for my 98' SSIII. Any experience with the above would be greatly appreciated. |

As per PM, not issues as far as fitting aftermarket springs to superstrut equipped cars. Only issue is with the cost of replacemenst parts like the lower arm and Fig 8 parts. They bushes are built into these parts and aren't replaceable on their own. You need the entire arm assembly which is why they cost so much.
Superstrut is a good set up compared to MacPherson - just a shame about the replacement cost. Gary -------------------- 1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come.... GT-Four spec list |

Eibach makes the springs for TRD, it's basically the same as the pro-kit from eibach. did kg/mm make springs for the SS-III, for some reason i thought they did? |
