Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Best advice I can give is just don't go for looks, you need to be careful in matching springs and shocks rates as you could end with a pretty poor handling car. Are you running stock shocks? If so it doesn't really matter as without sounding rude it won't handle right anyway unless you opt for a very small drop like the TRD 25mm. It will also put immense stress on what may already be a worn pair of stock shocks depending in mileage. Ideally swap the lot with uprated shocks/springs or some coilovers. I can appreciate some are on a tight budget so lowering springs alone will be a quick fix but in the long run look to replace the whole lot T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ^^^ yer i agree 40mm is deffo enufi dont think they looked right slammed on their arsesHKS springs are nice think there 40mm at back n 35mm on front to take driver and passenger weights into accounttry them mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 i got Spax ones, just wanted a lower agressive look at the time.. £80.00 off POTN.com made a great difference in handling, as they are know for being hard. the kit is a 40mm drop but my car is fully stripped out, so the back is now slightly higher than the front.now ive decided to turbo my mota, i am defo wanting to upgrade again. it would be worthwhile so if i was you, and u are planning on keeping it, go the hole hog mate. wats a set of second hand JDM coilovers at? £250-£450? for that u get top quality, amazing handling, peice of mind that its all workin in harmany and not against each other, AND choice of height so you can get the exact hieght your after. think about it! you know it makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
