[fliPRyde23]

i got stock suspension and i wanna drop my cel
but i dk which is better?
whhich are better ride, but i know there gunna both be stiff but

let me know? thankss

[lOST JOKKUR]

depends on your budget, how much you willing to spend and how low do you want to go?

IMO coilovers are overall a better purchase.

[fliPRyde23]

well i might get some trd springs
good? or nah?

[lOST JOKKUR]

picking them up from ntp?

personally i haven't had any experience with them. if i remember correctly they're a 1.5 drop all around. most people on here just go with tein s. tech spring / kyb struts.

this topic has been discussed a lot. try searching there a lot of threads with your same exact question.

[fliPRyde23]

imma get em for 130

legit???


AND IS THAT COOL IF I HAVE STOCK SUSPENSION AND I PUT THESE SPRINGS?

[lOST JOKKUR]

looks legit.

no needs to yell (caps). you should be fine because they're not much of a drop. just remember to get an alignment after the springs settle. its just HIGHLY recommended to get struts just in case they do blow faster. and its just easier to do them once and do them right the first time.

[fliPRyde23]

how bout these? 1.8 drop?

legit??

[lOST JOKKUR]

never heard of the brand. ill pass on them.

looks like fake tein springs.

[fliPRyde23]

2 inch drop is too much?
because i might get megan racing ones that are about 1.8-2 in
i dnt have a body kit and there stock rims?

[lOST JOKKUR]

2 in. is fine as long as you get some struts too.
im not a fan of megan springs. i would pass on them.

[fliPRyde23]

what if i jus put some springs
no struts for now?? cool?
cuz i still ogtta save up more money for that?

or should i get some ebay coilovers cuz i really dnt care bout brand
its all about the looks?

[lOST JOKKUR]

:nono::nono::nono:

springs for now are okay till you get afford/get some struts.

you get wait you pay for and i would never cheap out on suspension.

[fliPRyde23]

alright i think imma get the trd springs
1.5"?
yahh???

[fliPRyde23]

yah?
cause im kinda low on $?
so ya i jus want springs that will do the job?

and so if i get these springs with 2" whould i need new struts right away?

save up til you can afford both, and dont get those^ they are too cheap
might as well cut your springs for free!

trd springs and trd struts are good, with a 2 inch drop your shocks will blow

[hulkster]

no reason to do the job twice. wait until you get the struts and do it all at the same time.

comments like that blow, shocks give out no matter what, your car can be stock height or even lifted and they blow, so you shouldnt let a low ride height stop you from gettin a certain spring or shock ......... certain brands of shocks can take a beating though, but theyll cost a lil more :)

[CRBCelica]

^ i meant faster..;)

[WakeRider]

buy the springs now stare at them for a month to persuade you to get the struts faster...

Do it once do it right

[fliPRyde23]

how bout coilovers?? will i needa do anything else if i put coilovers?

[lOST JOKKUR]

straight up plug and play.

i take that back. it depends on which one you buy. some might require your rubber mounts too.

[WakeRider]

Tein SS-P's are drop em in and tightening em down. Those however cost you $1800...
