on gp i would wait to install the springs until you upgrade struts...

dunno about the quality of the spring tho...but 2" drop sounds nice!

[pervo]

i figure a springs a spring- the spring rate is 300 which is what ive been told is what you aim for

i know general practice is to do the whole suspension.. but im a car audio guy and that doesnt leave much for the rest of the car


i think im just gonna do it unless some one can tell me for sure its no good

[pervo]

while we are on the subject... what upgrades do you guys recomend for a noob such as myself... all ive got is a k&n air filter (if that even counts-lol)

what are the intake resonators?? never heard of these

[indiglosolara]

From reading the Ebay auction. Droping your car over 2" in the front you might have some camber problems. But its nothing a chamber bolt kit can't fix.

I would suggest like the others have and go with either tokico strut or KYB.

Tokico would be a little better as far as performance goes. KYB i've heard don't last that long. But i never personally experienced it.

If you want Tokicos for a good price. You can Contact jack at Fast Track. He has good prices on them. Or even TRD Struts (AKA Blisteins)(sp?). I am thinking of either Changing to Coilovers or Get Blisteins Struts from jack since its stiffer.

Or even TRD Struts (AKA Blisteins)(sp?).

They have not been made since 2 years, so if you find any blisten's or trd struts, they are like 3-4 years old and NO replacements. Stick with tokico's if i were you!

Not True,

TRD doesn't make them, But you can still get replacements that are brand new. I talked to Jack at Fast Track and he can get them. They are under Blistein and not under TRD's name anymore(which i believe never really was)

he didn't recommend me to get them cuz they are stiff but he can get them if anyone needs replacements or just want a full set.

But i do agree if you dont want to loose the comfort ride stick with tokicos.. I have them and i like them but just wish it was a little stiffer.
