starlybruiser Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well ive been offered a spring - shock combo for my glanza that consists of kyb exel G shocks and Tein S-tech springs and i just wondered if anyone has any good pics to show the drop of those springs? also any opinions on this combo? will those shocks handle them springs bein only slight upgrade over stock shocks? cheers guys, starlybruiser :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 think Markoos had teins on his v, as did the bourk mister at some point i'm sure, have a snoop round the build thread i think there are a fair few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 real good combo mate like i said, I've got them on mine, my comp playing up so cnt get pics at the moment sorry mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Got same combo on my Paseo (uses same suspension as the Starlet)here's a before and after lowering pic for referenceThey handle a fair bit better than standard setup (less leaning round corners and less leaning forwards and backwards as you accelerate and brake) but retain a good level of comfort (not too harsh) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Fair play mate, that looks miles better now! nice drop, not too low, so they are still goin to be practical over the speed bumps :surrender: you recon the excel g's will handle the tein springs ok? i dont want to get them and then find a few miles later they have shit there selves lol :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Can't say really but should think they'd be fine?My shocks were all brand new when the springs went on so can't really say how they fare over timeAs for the drop, tis enough, but am still able to get over speed bumps fine (although have caught the exhaust tip once or twice on the bigger bumps) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 ah ok cool matey, that was one of my biggest worries, speed humps lol, but yeah the teins should be ok, i always crawl over the humps anyway, you dont want to be driving behind me when there's speed humps around lol, people go crazy with me haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
