Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 looking to lower the EP91 but cant decide what to put on it either coilovers or lowering springs? im fairly new to this so sorry if its an obvious answer thanks Dan Quote
Gainzy Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Meisters I would go for or BC spend some good money on the suspension. Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 so would it be better to go with coilovers? wasnt sure if they were expensive to use or if they needed servicing or something? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If you're doing lots of daily driving, springs and shocks. Can never understand the logic behind coilovers on a daily driver.Day Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 its my daily so cant be mega hard ride, and on island roads itl get smashed is its to hard, wasnt sure if it was worth spending the extra and it being more adjustable or have it set at one height with springs Quote
Nanglebadger Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Springs onto the stock shocks is by far the cheapest solution, I ran mine as a daily like that for years and it was only a BEHEMOTH pot hole that burst a tire that eventually killed a spring. Phil. Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 so for day to day and keeping some comfort but making it abit nicer to handle and sitting better, springs are the best option at the moment? Quote
5e colin Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Meisters I would go for or BC spend some good money on the suspension. never knew they where budget coils :-p go the polo route much much better then shocks and lowering springs and waaaay comfier then pro coils Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 sorry for the ignorance.. but whats the polo route?? Quote

Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 cheers colin think i get it so you use the starlet top mounts and put them on the polo coilovers, then re drill the bottom of the coilovers to fit the starlet?? Quote
5e colin Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 yes thats it up front just the holes need attention best to use canber bolts to to make life easy on the rears either cut to size or weld on starlet bushes Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 ah i see cheers bud il look into it! Quote
