shanksportif Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Anyone know where to get these springs from? Also, does anyone have them on with standard shocks? If so how do they ride?Or could anyone suggest any other springs that offer a reasonably comfortable ride with standard shocks? Cheers - James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Wasup JamesI am in the same position as you.Trying to think what lowering springs to get and whether or not to use standard shocks or something aftermarket.Pi springs can be bought from:http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/toyota_...ering_kits.htmlhttp://www.upauto.co.uk/Main.htmthats all I found so far. people on this site say that they sag with age and in turn make the car look lower than it is.The choices I want to make are between:TTE Lowering Springs (discontinued by toyota but £120 at the time of asking)(I am looking for some of these, so if anyone has some in reasonable condition please let me know!)Eibachs (similar to above) £170Apex £100 (approximate) (some people have these)Pi reds £100 (approximate) (see belowGmax (said to be a hard ride) £100 approximate (prob wont go for these)My car is low mileage (26k) so I can afford to use the old shocks for a while as they were kyb standard on the starlet, but I may wait and get shocks too as those standard shocks are gonna eventually burst.I called KYB UK themselves and they only have the ExcelG shocks listed on their computer. Check this out for KYBs http://www.kayaba.co.uk/distributor/products_types.htmlWill update my Extreem EP Rides pics soon once I get the induction kit and tachometer fitted. The JDM Inlet Manifold is tasty and rips!Hows your car going so far?Let know how you get on mate.Good LuckFrom Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
