Gamer Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 JIC FLT-A2 Speak to Terry from Vortex, he can get you a set with the correct specs for UK roads. (whoops, just noticed you are in the Middle east) Terry, or possibly Nic can source these for you .... You can also get them yourself (As I did) from a few places such as: http://www.perfectrun.com.au/carparts_list/toyota/supra/suprasuspentionlist.htm http://www.ooparts-international.co.jp/index/car/frameset.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason m Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 loadsa good ones man, JIC HKS CUSCO TEIN im sure any of the above will meet your needs! First I don't believe that he specified what his needs are - Drag, street, circuit ? What are the roads like over there ? Do you know something we don't ? Second have you heard good things about Tein that we have not ? Third have you driven a TT Supra with all the setups you mention ? What Geometry do you recomend ? OR the short version Really ?

Guest Flat4_ire Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 and no i havent driven a tt supra with all these different coils, but ive had cars with CUSCO adjustables, GAB adjustables, im on my second car now with HKS Hypermax, so i can say that ive found all of these to be good.ive no experience of tein but i hear they offer good ones especially for drift setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 May I ask why you need coil overs? I ask this question of lots of owners, 90% really don't know WHY they need them, they just think they sound cool. Probably 90% of owners don't need them, and they are probably a poor choice for them.

Ride height adjustable... Damper adjustable... Nice colours...Sounds good when you say ' i have coilovers' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Why would you want to *ugger about with the ride height? Unless these things are regularly adjusted, cleaned and greased they WILL seize solid. Adjustable dampers are really the realm of race cars, most road cars should have springs and dampers made as a matched apair and left alone. Just IMO, I am very happy to supply and fit coilovers, it's just people should be very honest with themselves and ask if they really need them, and if they have them, will they actually use them, and do they know HOW to set up the suspension?

BTW you said one of these will meet your needs, not one of these should suit your needs. So from your last post I understand that in response to the original question of which is the best set of coilovers your (helpful) response is... any of them ? Not trying to have an argument but it can be unhelpful for other members when useless information is posted on these BB's Just my opinion.

Guest Flat4_ire Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 On the same note you listed ALL of them as good, what is your basis for that recommendation ? well ive had personal experience with HKS, CUSCO, GAB and i thought they were all very good, ive no experience of tein but hear they offer good stuff, popular with drifters i believe, im not an expert on this..i doubt any of them are BAD to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
