Eibach or Votgland springs?

Eibach or Votgland springs?

Postby TRDCamry » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:04 pm

I am thinking about getting Tokicos along with either eibach or votgland. Which ones are better? I don't want a huge drop either. I want it to be very small and not noticeable visibly. If anyone has either, how do you like the look(Drop-small or huge) and feel.

ok so we got three votes for three different springs.

Vogts give about a drop with about a 3 finger gap.

Eibachs I think is about 2, but its lower in the front than the back I think.

And I think Tiens give the lowest, even drop, but dont quote me on that.

Again go for the EIBACHs if you want the least drop, go for the TEINS, which I LOVE as well, if you want the most drop.....


i say teins... they ride nice.. but if you dont want the lower drop rate then eibachs.. those are good too but it has a uneven drop.....

Lets all post up a side view pic of how low the springs are hahaha... im sure itll help rapsux2000... But im pretty sure the order of least drop to more drop is:
vogtland
eibach
tein

Im not sure where Intrax sits but i think its after eibach or after tein... who has H&R springs?

Wow, I'm getting some conflicting reports here. I just want to maintain a a stock look. I don't want people to notice a huge drop. I heard the Eibachs provide a 1.2 in drop the front and back is that correct? what are the numbers for the other springs? Will I need to get some kind of a camber kit or something because of the springs? Thanks for the help guys.

Yeah Vogtland's don't sit low as others. He said he has no care for the largest drop. So is why Vogtland comes to mind.

If Tein's are just as good and give a lower drop then I'd go for them in a heartbeat!! :D (They are cheaper too)

If you want the stock look, i probably recommend you go to vogtlands... No offense to anyone who has vogtlands!! But our solara platform does not require any camber kits!!! Its been discussed many times so you can probably do a search and find out how many ppl say this... including myself :D

If you do lower it, make sure you tell the shop to be careful with the ABS sensors... read up on that... its a sticky!
