Advise on lowering Solara, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[that1mexguy]

Hey guys, I've been contemplating into getting a set of Tokico struts and Tein springs for my ride but I'd like to know what some of you would had to say. Does anyone out there has adjustable coilovers? a different brand of springs maybe? What are your recommendations??? Thanks in advance!!

how deep are you pockets dude??

struts:
Tokico

springs:
Eibach
Tein
Vogtland
Sprint
H&R???

coil over sleeves-

i forgot at the moment.

coil over system:
JIC (FLTA2, SF-1, FLT-A1US)
Tein

I have the Tein SS, "peter" has the JIC FLT-A1

I have KYB GR-2s with Eibach springs and the combination of the two provide some solid handling when I go autox. But the Eibachs create a lower drop in the back then in the front, leaving a bit too much of a gap in the front fender-wells then I would like (but a plus for those overlooked speed bumps). Perhaps the Tein springs will give you a better drop, Intrax springs will give you the lowest drop I think, about 2". But IMO, if you have the $$$$, coilovers are always the way to go!

I got Tokico/Eibach. Its good so far, except as thealkimo mentioned the uneven drop. Its not that bad though, like almost one finger gab difference. I heard Tien would give you the even drop. But as they said, if you got cash then go with coilovers.

I have the Tein's and Tokico, I like the drop.. it nice and even... the ride is good..

but like everyone has said if you have the money go for tein coilovers or the JIC,

Im changing to the Tein CO once i get some cash flow...

I have the Tein and Tokico's also (sounds like a broken record). I don't have a problem with uneven drop, it is the same front and back. The ride is good but I'd even prefer a little stiffer and lower. If I had it to do over again, I'd go for the coil-overs. -JoeB

Hey Your in Atlanta? Cool we are growing over here!! I'm going to get Tokico / Vogtland set up install this saturday so If you want to meet me at the shop you can check out the ride and feel for yourself. Let me know fellow spanish dude. As long as I can get these delivered by Friday I'll take em in on Saturday. PM me if you can meet i'll give you the location info. Vogtland is a 1.5" drop BTW

--From shopping around I noticed Sprint is the lowest with a 1.8" drop. Intrax is at 1.75 / I have not seen anyone with Sprint springs and I did not go with them cause they are so cheap. I saw some for like $89.00 on ebay. It reminds me of those $25.00 air-intake kits on e-bay for some reason. IMO
