On December 25th I was short of presents and decided to order a set of Tein SS coilovers for my faff, hoping to just make it with old pricing. No luck! Got a refund today cos’ prices went up during Christmas apparently. Current price of 2k is off the scale for me.

So I’m left with two options now:

1. Start hunting for a set of used coilovers

2. Modify my current setup. Which is only TRD 4 way adjustable shocks . I find 4th setting quite hard so was considering throwing a set of TEIN springs and TEIN or TRD top mounts to improve the handling. I’ve had tein springs fitted on my ST202 before and TBH didn’t find much improvement in handling. Maybe cos’ I had stock shocks on….

What do you guys think? Anyone with a similar setup? Car is not a daily driver and I enjoy hard cornering, was also hoping of occasional track days this year.

BTW, I already have a Whiteline ARB, Cusco underbrace and poly bushes.

Thanks!

i would get some ground control coilovers, found here:

they are $400 and use eibach springs
everyone who has used them loves them, both for racing and street use

Thanks dude but mine are superstrut suspension

for ground control springs, superstrut suspension doesn't matter...since all you are doing is replacing the springs

I hear k-sport is an alright brand..

take my word, dont take it, Im looking into it myself..
money is so tight though...

i have ksports. they are stiff. but when you loosen up the dampening it isnt too bad of a ride. handles like a dream

Decided to go with option 2... Modify my current setup. Which is only TRD 4 way adjustable shocks . Throw a set of TEIN springs and TRD top mounts to improve the handling.

where are you getting your TRD top mounts at?

Since you have a gt-four, I'm assuming you already have a rear strut bar. You can always upgrade the front and rear strut bars.
