Eibach vs Tein Vs Others - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #8866 30 posts Started by Jeremy1210
Which are the best springs out there to get??
if you plan to autoX, get Tanabe. Otherwise, I would get tein. Eibach are overpriced, and there are no others that appeal to me.

i just got my eibach sportlines on. i love them. the ride is very firm and not bouncy at all. the handling got a lot better too. i and about 20 other people on here will reacomend them as great springs.


i dont think anyone on here got the teins on their car yet, so i doubt youll get any opinions on them.

Well I got my sportlines for under 200 shipped, and that was through tirerack.com, which is one of the adds on the site. Im very happy with my sportlines.

depends on what you want....the pro kit is 1" drop...the sportlines are a 1.5" drop

i got the tein springs and i love 'em. not bouncy as all.
well today was the first day that i got to really drive my car around with the sportlines. the drop is very extreme, it took me a few days to get used to how low my car is. the ride quality is also very very good and not bouncy at all. the best part has to be the handling. i have facoty front sturt brace and for the rear i have the brace that comes stock in the gt4. adding these springs made my car handle like a dream. there is almost no body roll and you can take turns a very high speeds. i have honestly never driven a car that handles better then this one.

I've seen a pic of it before on some site. I can't remember which one. I think maybe celica.net. I do remember what it looks like. Its black and tube shaped like the front. It has to bolt points on each side. Very simple and plain

Jeremy
i would still love to see one. think you could dig that old pic up?

I found the pics over on Celica.net

Tried to find the one of the brace on a car, but the member ride photos are a bit hosed at the moment. Maybe someone can chime in here with a pic of it on the car.

Mark
thanks a bunch man, that helps: i was tryin to identify which one it was as i've seen more than one diff rear strut bar.
just think of the springs this way...

Prokit - better ride, with little sacrifice of ride quality.
Sportsline - true enthusiast with more sacrifice on daily driving.

i don't have the booklet that came with my sportlines anymore, but it said something to that effect.
hey im getting Tom's springs for free. does anyone have them??? are they any good? and what type of shocks should i get ? i heard KYB GR2 arent that good
