starlybruiser Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well im trying to decide what route to go down with the handling, and ive decided not go for coilys as most of them are proper stiff and normally more expensive, but ive been looking at the koni adjustable shocks on toytuning along with the whiteline 40mm springs, was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these items seperately or combined? cheers guys, starlybruiser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garbla900 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 thats the set up ive got on my glanza. its only the fronts that are adjustable and you got hack your origional front ones to get them to fit the new shock as they are inserts and the starlet ones are sealed. it is good once its done and is a little smoother than with coilys. but be prepared for some hard work fitting them. lol (p.s look at my thread and you can see the ride height on 15") Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garbla900 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 i wasent trying to put him off or anything, was just saying it not like just changing a shocky and if your not skilled in bodging tools together cutting the top and uhe 40mm hole aint easy. at least thats what i think.

Guest Enzo Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 thanx for that asad, was close to buying a set a few weeks ago and dave b put me off it, as its not straight forward to fit them, if you trim too much off your cuffed, but those instructions will help imensly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Np......i did read another one and it seems the ammount you cut off is around 37-40mm Another good guide http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...ficial%26sa%3DN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
