Topic #74344 84 posts Started by sunwukongg
I want to get into the whole touge scene and was wondering what coilovers/suspension set up would be best for my 5sfe on the touge?
BC coilovers / TEIN SS coilover are both really good out of the box units smile.gif

cmon man, thats just wrong. You dont call your cars spaceships, dont call your local twisty road a touge.

theirs mountain passes around here.

Touge: Tōuge|峠 is a Japanese word literally meaning "pass." It refers to a mountain pass or any narrow, winding roads

Spaceship: Another name for a spacecraft used for human spaceflight

Car: An automobile, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor

a touge IS a mountain pass. a car is NOT a spaceship. i'll call it whatever i want.

which one would you recommend for the mountain passes?

&NICS, You've been there for the celica meet sometime last year. It's the one that connects azusa, baldy, and GMR. the side i usually go on is GMR.

do not get, are you calling coilovers ricer or driving fast in the twisties ricer?

if you are calling Touge was a word ricer it might be better rethinking that comment as on a JDM car website many Japanesims get used, Kouki is one example
It depends on the road, if its a rough road then coilovers aren't always better but if its nice and smooth you can't really go wrong.

*I have no personal experience with this system* BUT from the reviews I have read and what i've seen around. I would recommend the BC coilover as it comes as a full setup with camber plates and quality build. TEIN SS is great but lacks the camber plates.

just the touge part, it just goes way over the top. My car has four wheels like a lambo, but I dont call it Lambo.

touge is touge [toe-gay] and the road close to your house even if it has some twists and turns isnt one.

lol do you not get it? touge is a mountain pass. it's just a different word for it. I wouldn't say it's close to my house since it's an hour away..

and a gt4 celica is NOT a lambo. but a touge IS a mountain pass. ill call it whatever i want.

and instead of being completely useless in helping me in this thread and not having anything good to say, id appreciate it if you just stay out.

Penkka, I only go on mountain runs for driving pleasures. I just wanted to know what suspension set up would benefit me for a better road feel and better handling and cornering.

BC coilovers are good too. i have read an article im not sure if its true but megans are actually rebranded bc coilovers.

BC actually has made coilovers for many brands before, but now they´ve started to make their own, and I can tell you theyre good..

"she can polish my strut bar anytime As long as her blow-off valve's in good order"
are the camper plates lets say for example that you buys c-one camber plates for the front, are those the same for both macpherson and superstrut suspension?

why dont the rear suspesion have cambert plates???

what touge videos have you been watching???

I don't think you will get a proper answer about suspension and actually racing a car on here. I can only think of 2 people on this forum who actually track their car and no I am not including autocross.

Stay away from Megan/D2/K-Sport if you plan to actually track the car properly. They fail under track conditions, I have seen it occur. Tein will be your cheapest option and price point.

:.....Flush Wheel Fitment Guide.....:
pnly couple who track their cars? Time Attack, right here!

And sunwukonqq, I cant tell as I have actually even seen megan set on my own eyes.. But I like them!
Actually now I´d need stiffer anti-rollbars in order to make the coilovers softer..

get ST anti swaybars.


sunwukongg, trdproven has em for over a year now. you can go ask him his personal input. ask the people that bought in the BS forum who bought megans.

he means Suspension techniques sway bars, but I don't think they make any for the GT4, only FWD celicas.
