Guest suprageek Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hi I have a 93 tt sup, the previous owner had shocks and springs out of a 98 model sup fitted, can the car be lowered on these or do I need to get coilovers on. Sorry for my ignorance I havnt a clue about suspension. Thanks:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 you can just fit lowering spring but that will have the damper pre compressed all the time and it wont be the best way of doing things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Coilovers are the best solution then? My car looks too high at the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Coilovers are the best solution then? My car looks too high at the rear A set of CW dampeners and springs are your best solution for handling but it won't lower the car. Coilovers for lowering with adjustable dampeners - (I still find this very good for handling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Stock shocks and lowering springs such as Eibach will be fine. Been done on the forum since the beginning of time. If the stock shocks are the black Toyota ones it may be an idea to change them at the same time to Bilsteins or something similar. Coilovers are obviously the best choice, but at £450+ for a set you can usually find a set of shocks and lowering springs for about £200.

Dan_Turism0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 has anyone put springs on the REAS shocks or are we really talking a whole different kettle of fish now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) I have the Eibach Pro sport kit with stock dampers on my car and their fine on both the rd and track, if you do this you will stiffen up how your car rides over bumps and to be honest if my car was a daily driver i wouldn't do it, unless your hardcore The cheapest route you could take is simply fit a lowering spring to your dampers, the Eibach kit is around £200 for the lowering springs. For your referance the stock set up on a supra is a coilover. CW can machine his dampers to let you drop the spring platform to lower the ride height.

jim Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 yellow shocks will probably be bilsteins bud, they're not adjustable. There's a place off the Shore Road in Belfast called North Belfast Spring Works, it might be worth giving him a shout to see if he can do anything with your stock springs to compress them a bit.
