JustGav Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Speak to a Mr Chris Wilson, he seems to know a bit about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Optional Bilstein shocks and Eibach sorings are a nice combination in my opinion, was very happy with the setup on my old car. However, doing it again I'd do what Gav says and get Chris Wilson to fit his damper and spring setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) i am after lowering my supra but not to keen on coilovers for road use.whats the best set up for all round use. How will you adapt the car to NOT use coilovers?? Coilovers are the ideal setup for any car, the word doesn't imply a stiff/harsh setup, that would come from the spring and damper rates you choose - which you'll most likely need to increase if you decide to significantly lower the car. The yellow stock J-Spec suspension is hard to beat untless you're going to invest a decent amount of money IMHO.

heckler Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Tein superstreets are highly rated by many people here. yup, got them on mine, I've also had the bilstien/eibach combo, but actually prefer the Teins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I've just fitted some custom valved Bilsteins from Chris wilson to match with my HKS springs. Car feels superb now, not too harsh, but handles great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i am after lowering my supra but not to keen on coilovers for road use.whats the best set up for all round use. Supra has coilovers as o/e, i guess your refering to adjustable platform coilovers. Eibachs and o/e dampers work quite well, you'll need the car re aligned though if you lower it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Mine has the tein street with top mounts. It's an excellent ride even when not on the softest setting. It's doesn't bang and crash at all, compared to a set of hard lowering springs on knackered old stock shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car feels superb now, not too harsh, but handles great. I am glad you like the combination, the early HKS springs were a good rate and none linear, too, shame they stopped doing them. The Eibachs are a bit too low really, and funny rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
