Idrees Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'd sort the chassis before going for more power upgrades! A decent shock/spring convo would work well, but coilovers will be even better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 only buy british based coilovers.... if you buy trd's etc, your wasting your money asthey aint built for these shitty roads but they wont add more horses Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Id go for the handling mod's too first.Get a quality brake setup, discs and pads... also lines as there the best brake upgrade you can buy.Along with dampers, stock dampers are useless. Boat time any body ? If you can handle a bit of a harsh ride on bumpy road, but an immense drive on smoother roads and tracks, go for a coilover setup.I wont be looking back again after going for coilys. Granted you have to take it easy over harsh roads, but then once youre clear and you have a nice few corners its immense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seed Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 First mod i'd go is Braking then Handling then engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sound good.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Welcome to the club Brakes and Handling will be teh best upgrades you will do to your car first I have D2 coilovers and 3G 10 groove discs and EBC greenstuff pads and ZEP braided linesD2's are the ones Id recommend as they are half the price of the Tein ones and have just as much adjustability on them Also there are version 2 D2's out now which are slightly softer which means a comfier ride Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sound good..I had TRD's, replaced three top mounts, then the backs leaked so i went for standard shocks and RS*R Lowering Springs, obviously doesnt handle as well as having the coilovers on but doesnt handle like a boat eithers, perfect for the road! The trd's were so harsh and uncomfortable as you could expect being made for the track, not everyday road use If you are going the coilover route, get some nice D2's, probs the best on these roads.S.

Edgy Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 how much do you think is a resonable amount to spend on a good shock / spring setup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 600..Should get you some D2 v2's or second hand buddyclubs,teins,cusco's,trd etc with a few pennys spare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
