Dnk Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) what a good thread, maybe a star rating on experiances with them would be nice to have Yes i totally agree but some info could be missleading as it will be down to the individuals opinion which we know on here is rather varied. There is also the arb's and lower profile tyres to be taken into consideration on how firm a car feels Im very supprised going through the list that the Eibachs are the next heaviest spring rate after the stock UK springs. My Eibachs are firm enough so god knows what the ones listed with over double the poundage ride like. Obviously i need to take into account that my car has TRD arb's and much lower profile tyres than stock which as i said will affect the ride.

sdistc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just remembered that the Japanese and Australian Tein spring rates are different (Aussie roads are shockingly bad, and needed a softer spring), but will have to dig around to find the details if you're interested.

CJ Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 What a great idea for a thread. For people like me who don't know a lot about spring rates etc this will be a great source of info when looking to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Might be an idea to add a column to show by how much the springs lower the ride height and perhaps where known what damping adjustment the 'coilovers' have, it would also help identify the different models by including the part number as some specs/part numbers vary by country. A few to add to the list: 48130-JA800 TRD (Japan) Springs Front 107.8N/mm -15mm, Rear 92.1N/mm -15mm 48000-JA801 TRD/Bilstein (Japan) Suspension Set, 3 stage height adjustment (15mm･-25mm･-35mm) Front 107.8N/mm/Rear 92.1N/mm SKY02-S1B00 Tein (Japan) S-Tech Springs (2JZ-GE) Front 10k/-32mm Rear 4.9k/-20mm SKT60-S1B00 Tein (Japan) S-Tech Springs (2JZ-GTE) Front 10k/-36mm Rear 4.9k/-42mm SKL18-AUB00 Tein (USA) S-Tech Springs Front 12kgf/mm/671lbs/in, -28mm Rear 6.5kgf/mm/364lbs/in, -25mm T168TD RSR Ti2000 (Titanium) DOWN Springs Front 8.33kgf/mm -35-40mm, Rear 4.2kgf/mm -20-25mm T168D RSR DOWN Springs Front 8.33kgf/mm -35-40mm, Rear 4.2kgf/mm -20-25mm EST-134 ESPELIR Active GT Springs Front 8.6kgf/mm 30-35mm, Rear 4.6kgf/mm 25-30mm Edited April 13, 2012 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just seen this thread, so BC coilovers are just as suitable as the HKS hypermax II for drag racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a real noob at all this. The D2 shocks you quote arent the same as mine and I cant find them anywhere on the D2 site - Theres no model I can see as theyre installed on the car. They are a pink and yellow colour though (possibly disontinued). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They list several D2 kits all with different spring rates so you'll need to find which ones you have or get the springs tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
