jackjohno Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have a set of tein coilovers on my Glanza and I am wondering if I can have both comfort and handling, is this possible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 i have teins on mine and tbh comfort has sort of went out the window they will still handle if you have them on the softest settingDean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have Tein's and tbh they are so much nicer to drive with than just lowering springs IMO.Havent sat in my car for 18months and when we towed it earlier it felt so much nicer than my sisters Starlet which is lowered 40mm on springs which just bounces all over the place Coilys FTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But forget coilovers if your looking for comfort, you have to decide if its handling or comfort that you want tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 3 on the topmount, two at the bottom of the damper and the bolt that holds the brake line to the damper. Undo them, drop the old strut out and put the coilover in and bolt it back up again Repeat on the otherside on the front and the rear is incredibly self explanatory from there on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jham Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yea figured it would be easy getting to actualy get the shocks on it was more setting the ride height im not confident with, is it a case of fit them adjust to where i think, drop the car on the ground give it a drive and if not right jack it back up again and guess again? bit of trial and error? or is there a specific area i can adjust to so that i know itll be a decent height when i drop it down? doubt there is probs will be keep adjusting!

Sparky Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yea you got it dude, trial and error really, just get them all set equally and adjust it after you dropped it back on its wheels if your not happy with it etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
