Which has the most drop

[Spoonz]

Teins or TRDs??

Lowering springs or coilovers mate, if the latter which ones?

If lowering springs then the Teins (40mm) as the TRD are only 25mm.

Going on the title I thought we had another Halfar post on the go.

It doesn't really make a difference. Make a car too low, and the suspension becomes too hard, which results in a car that bounces about and handles likes shit.

 

[Spoonz]

o yea i know what your sayin. Basically my friend brought sme kons and it came with TRD springs and he wants his car to sit low so he's not to worrie dbout excellent handling.
Plus 25mm isnt a awful lot
Thanks for the input monk have some rep

 

[Texx]

The car wont sit low with Tein's, well mine didn't anyway. Rather disappointed with them to be honest.

'Off-Roader' springs to mind.

 

[Spoonz]

interesting has there more of a drop then TRD's lol

 

[Texx]

These are the tyre to wheel arch gaps I've got using Tein springs on KYB shocks with T1-R 195/45/15 tyres:

FRONT

REAR

Not exactly what I would call low anyway.

 

[Adam_Glanza]

have you got the front and rear springs on the wrong way round?

front should be dropped more than the rear shouldnt they lol

 

[Texx]

The fronts have a larger diameter to the rears, they wouldn't fit.

 

[Texx]

TBH, it's never felt right since I fitted them, but I haven't driven the car enough to really worry about it.
I intend to change it all again soon anyway as it was only a quick fix for 3 leaking shockers, but I do wish I'd refitted the old fluffy brown springs that I took off instead.

 

[Monkfish]

Texx> Is that after you've fitted the lowering springs?

Yep, thats how the car sits now. I would like to compare another GT with the same springs and tyre size as mine to see if this is normal, but I'm not really bothered by it as its all coming back off anyway, but not too impressed either.

 

[Idrees]

Maybe there is two types of Teins? I've seen some Starlets sitting fairly low on teins and others fairly high. Its wierd!

Anyhow, these are TRD (apparently)

Looks lower in the flesh.

 

[CMR]

Looking good idrees

have you got tein ss, usually with teins you cant get the back end very low but the front can usually go low, i think there is something wrong there btw.

That looks awesome! Are those Tein super streets?
