Just want to see what type of set up's people are using.

This is what I have.
Tein basic Coilover. lowered 1.9 on the front 2.0 on the rear.
Hotchkis F&R swaybars
Cusco front lower brace
Tanabe front lower brace
Tanabe rear lower brace
TRD rear strtutbar(soon to be Beatrush)
Hotchkis Camber links
C-one front strut bar(comming)

So far the car handles great, once I have the front strutbar I'm sure it will handle even better, the rear is really tight. I will add some swaybar links next, my stock ones are pretty weak.

My setup:

[Now]
Tein S-Tech Springs (1.4")
Hotchkis Front Sway Bar (soft)
ST Rear Sway Bar
APR Front Strut Bar
Hypermotive 3pt Rear Strut Bar

[Soon]
Cusco Lower Front Tie Bar

[Eventually]
KYB AGXs, Koni Yellows, or Tein SS, depending on where life takes me. ;)

As of now:
Tein SS Coilovers set at default (.79 from base and 10 clicks from hardest upfront and 8 in the rear)

Soon:
Hotchkis Camber Links
BeatRush Front and Rear Strut Bar

I find the new Tein SS a bit harsh on bumpy roads. I was expecting it to be stock smooth since BlueBomber said it was really smooth at default settings.

If you don't like 'em, you can always give them to me. ;) The Celica I rode in with the SS-Ps was very smooth on default, smoother than my car with just stock struts and Tein springs.

haha.... hell no....
but I do want to know what other people's experience with the default Tein SS were like?
Were they REALLY smooth or a bit on the Stiff side.

I think coilover overall are going to be a bit stiffer than springs, or stock suspesion.
