AC93 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi everyone, So since my Supra has been mapped and driving (finally!) the weight of the sound deadening, turbo, intercooler, manifold and slightly larger diameter wheels and tyres etc. etc. has made the car alot more 'crashy', I remember it being firm but not this much! It is currently or grey TRD coilovers which give it a lovely tight feel but I can't help but want the comfort that my factory TT Supra had on OEM springs and yellow Bilsteins. Plus I need to raise the height a touch as the arches are catching the 285/35/18 tyres, but arches are getting rolled shortly. I did trim the arches hoping it would be enough but it was not to be.. So is anyone running 6/700bhp+ on Bilstein shocks and OEM springs? I can't imagine any downfalls apart from the slightly higher and softer rear end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Dont TRD springs have a high rate hence they are crashy ? The Eibach Pro Sport Kit (Progressive) might be the way to go but would lower the car approx 30mm and 25mm so depends how low your TRD set up is Sadly the register is a tad messed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progressive springs are what I want, the car is just fast road driving, may do the one track day or runway event but not enough to warrant £2k coilovers.
