Muzza784 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Are there any springs you can get that actually lower the car more than 35 40 mm, have heard tein arent great? I have apex but still sits high, so any suggestions?? Have sports shocks already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 You'll just dramatically shorten the shocker life if you drop it anymore than 35-40mm which is why aftermarket springs makers sell them in that option. If you want lows you'll have to go custom Or coilovers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR-2 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have new Tein lowering springs waiting, very curious also to hear why those are not so good? Everybody knows, that with oem old schocks car won't become racecar, but rides lower. Compared to other brands, those can't be any worse or most worst springs with 40-55mm lowering Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adzy Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 What exactly is wrong with them Teins may I ask (as I am considering to buy them actually...0 Thanks in advance for all the opinions!I assume he means that when you buy 55mm teins they won't actually lower the car that, prob more like 35/40.I had a set in mine and has no issues, they handled well. But they don't lower as much as they claim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks adzy - have measured how much you actually gained with them teins? Any photos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myth Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Can anyone recommend me springs to purchase for my first ever lowering of a car? (Links appreciated ) cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 i used Direnza lowering springs on my old one, wasnt mega expensive, load of warranty on them too, drops it 40mm and theyre still on the car with the new owner after 3 years so think theyre pretty good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 someone please recomend me a good quality suspension setup thats simple (not coilovers) and not harsh but slightly firmer than stock glanza suspension i want something that can easily deal with shitty potholed roads but improves the handling over stock.

Starlet__SR Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Brand new kyb gas shocks, tein springs. Works for me and a setup I swear by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 KYB's on rsr springs coilovers are better choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Where do you buy some kyb gas shocks lads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 eBay or Toyota. They're not the SR's though. But still better than the older oil type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmah Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I've ordered some RS-R springs from Japan and will get a set of KYB Excel-G struts to replace the stuffed Monroes in the front and KYB's in the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) right i need some kit for my car lads lol rear shocks are nakkered and when i go over a bump at more than 30mph it decides it likes pointing a new direction. would i be right in assuming something a setup like this would give me a nice firmer ride over standard but easily deal with potholes etc - key for me is ride quality. as long as its not too harsh. front shockers - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-OE-Quality-Replacement-KYB-Gas-Front-Shock-Absorber-333067-333068-/141542806010?fits=Model%3AStarlet&hash=item20f49bd1fa:g:U2YAAOSwk5FUuBkz rear shockers - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-OE-Quality-Replacement-KYB-Gas-Rear-Suspension-Shock-Absorber-341191-/191483429853?fits=Model%3AStarlet&hash=item2c954d43dd:g:wNkAAOSwzrxUuBmr springs - http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=502_520_586&products_id=2641 Edited June 16, 2017 by richglanzav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
