Lowering Springs

[PearlJammzz]

doubtful. Your best bet would prob. be the TRD's. They wont feel mushy like some of the other's w/ low spring rates, but they wont be crazy high like others (rsr racing). A lot of it depends on your struts too, if you have stock struts w/ one of these aftermarket springs, or cheap-o replacements, you wont get a very good transition which will result in a bumpy/uncomfy/unpredictible ride.

I suggest TRD and Koni Yellows for a good stock replacement. A little more stiff, but not a whole lot.

what about eibach sportline spring rates?

[charto911]

I am about to purchase new springs as the Teins' are too low and make my car handle amazingly well but its just too stiff so its time to change to: these Tanabe Springs Sustec GF210,the price is $180.00 I was wondering if you thought if that was a good price and honest opinions of that as I plan to mate it with Koni Yellow Dampers opposed to mated it with the TRD springs if they may be cheaper and just as good than obviously I will go with that setup, anyway please give me all input as to what springs to buy between the two.

TRD Springs....

For the AE86, there are two kinds of TRD Springs, US Version(sucks bad), and the Japanese Version(Oh Yeah!). Is it the same for the MkII??? Are there any other kinds of TRD Springs for the MkII??

Dapat mabilis para hinde mahuli ng pulis!!

yeah i think that will work in the p.i. but over here cop cars are fast. cant get away from them. lol

[pinoy_dorifto]

lol, yeah, specially here in L.A., some cop cars use the dodge charger'

back to TRD's...

so yeah, Because the TRD USA spring for the AE86 is the same thing with the Eibach Prokit for the ae86, that's why i was wondering if it's the same thing for the MR2, i saw that the Eibach pro and TRD SPrings that's posted has the same drop.

It doesn't look like the review buttons are working for me... I'll try again when I get home.
