GC Coilover...is it bad?

GC Coilover...is it bad?

Postby *Charinee* » Tue Sep 02, 2003 5:00 am

Anyone has it on their car? I have Eibach and Tokico now and I think my car is sitting a bit too high. I want the it to be lower a bit more. And I don't think I can afford the JIC. Any help please...

NO NO NO. Stay away. That is the absolute worst suspension setup you could get.

If your front is sitting too high, get the tiens
If your entire car is too high get the Intrax

The tiens are 1.6F/1.4R which leads to a more even drop. There are a few guys around here that have them, i'm sure they'll post pics.

The intrax I believe are 1.9/1.8"

Oh yeah and I remember a guy named Rich (team techmode?) here in the south bay that had coil overs... but is switching over to lowering springs instead... he mentioned some downsides to them, but I forgot what they exactly were...

I would go with the teins. In the pics the car hasn't settled yet. Its been about a week now and the car has settled really nice. right now approx 1 to 2 finger gap all around. the ride quality is also really nice. I love them. only down side is my car still leans when taking hard turns but after i stall my TRD RSB that should solve the problem.

Come on Charinee...go for it. JIC Magic! SF1 or FLT-A2. FLT-A2 is overkill for any 4 cyl Solara though...especially if you don't really use it on the track.
