Contemplating new Suspension***need help - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #62284 7 posts Started by Celica94ST
I want to do this right and would like some input if possible.

I have a 94 1/2 ST and want to eventually redo the engine and what not but first I was going to redo the suspension and tire setup.

I am looking for a good blend of qaulity and price, but arent we all.

I am between on either getting a full coilover or purchase the Shocks/Struts and coilovers seperatly, as this maybe more cost effective.

So, I found this full Coilover setup on Ebay for around 1000.00 and would like you input on how you think these are, and what maybe a good blend setup if I were to buy the suspension in peices and what I would need to buy, like camber kit etc.

D2 is a good brand. 1000 is kind of high for them tho

i've been through two different sets of lowering springs and i'm now using full coilovers... imo i will never go back to using lowering springs for any of my future cars... just to give you an idea of what i think of them.. your choice also depends on how much you love your car lol smile.gif

haha, thanks, yeah I had coilovers on my talon and and kept the oem shocks and ended up with a terrible ride.

Can I still create a good suspension system with buying coilovers and shocks/struts and possibly a camber kit?

Also anyone know of a good place to get a full coilover kit?
Over here the roads are in too bad a state for full coilovers, apparently they make the ride rather harsh and are normally kept for more track oriented cars.
I went for Eibach Springs and KYB Shocks.
Never had any problems, been on the car 4 years now.
lowered it about 30 mm and keeps the ride nice while improving the handling very well.

i think that is the site for all your suspension needs.

Beat me to the punch.

Email their customer service and ask them to match their previous sale price of $890 shipped, and they'll comply. I know because I asked them about it after they raised the price.
