hp006 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Looking at some new coilovers, which are better http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BC-COILOVERS-BR-SERIES-TOYOTA-SUPRA-1993-2002-/250742087155?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a61649df3 or http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D2-RACING-COILOVER-KIT-TOYOTA-SUPRA-JZA80-93-98-Z0071-/230557498015?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ae4c3a9f Or any other sugestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I can recommend HSDs as I have them and they seem very solid and well built. I am part way through fitting a set of BCs to a mates car and they seem OK for the money too.... although they don't seem as sturdy. Trouble is you have missed out on the HSD group buy £560. If you contact them they might do you a "Sale" price but you won't get them for that sort of money till next year, usual price is £760.

Nic Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 On a budget I'd go with a set of Tein Super Street or Bilstein dampers with lowered springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wantthatone Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 HSD, had these fitted & what a difference it makes at £560 it seemed crazy cheap for the quality. give driftworks a call while VAT is still 17.5% they may do a deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 What are you going to use the car for? If it's mainly road use the Chris Wilson setup (trader on here) comes highly recommended and is used on many members cars, he can also do a track setup but I recall that being alot more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 When I first had my hsd fitted I thaught they felt like rock compared to my uk shocks with lowering springs. But a couple of people have said how good the ride is with them so I guess it's more me not knowing any different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a couple of people have said how good the ride is with them so I guess it's more me not knowing any different To be fair I think they would feel rock hard compared to UK suspension. I can't comment though as I went from TRD suspension to Megan racing coilovers and then onto HSDs. The TRD Suspension was rock hard anyway so I haven't noticed a negative difference in comfort. In fact I'm almost positive on their softest setting they are more comfortable lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wantthatone Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 i found that scott, my hsd are on the softest setting, what with every bush underneath in poly its just comfortable! i have'nt played yet but dr jekly went up the road with them in the middle setting...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 On a budget I'd go with a set of Tein Super Street or Bilstein dampers with lowered springs. +1 I loved my yellow Bilstein dampers with Tein springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 +1 for the CW suspension. I have had a couple others and this is by far the best setup for a well rounded supra. Nice ride height (1 1/2" down IIRC) and not the rock hard ride you would expect for something that actually works quite well for a trackday or two and it is build on quality and comes with a full geo setup if you get Chris to install it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optim8 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I jumped on the HSD group buy, definetly a bargain at £560, mind you I'm still waiting for them to turn up, out of stock until January at some point, but I hope they come in soon!!!! I do notice Driftworks are doing them for £684 at the moment so getting on for £100 saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Tein Superstreets are a fair bit harder than stock UK suspension, even on the softest setting. Lowering the car much makes it pretty bad too on these. I had Aragosta suspension on my last car, which was utterly fantastic but is VERY expensive (well over £2k) My cuurent SZ-R has stock suspension that feels old, so i'll be trying the Chris Wilson road setup (When I eventually have some money ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I never liked the budget Tein as they aren't height and spring rate adjustable. If you change the height, the spring rate changes. The HSDs can also be height adjusted in situe which makes a MASSIVE difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I run german bilstein's with what im assuming are matched bilstein springs. Ride height is just right, ride comfort is spot on and it handles beautifully. Thats my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I thick that the BC ones are very good for the money , I fitted mine about a year ago and I think that they are very good . the ride and ajustment easy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkpower Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm in the same boat mate. Looking at BC Racing and D2 coilovers. They seem very similar in set up and adjustability. I reckon it may come down to which is cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it may come down to which is cheaper. I fitted a set of BC Racing coilovers for a friend a few months back. Cracking buy on a budget but I don't think they are as sturdy as some others out there. In comparison to my HSDs I thought they were very small in areas.... good for a weight saving though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
