mista weava Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 As per title, who is the cheapest person to use for the supply of eibach springs? this is for and NA car (not though i suppose that matters..?) or am i barking up the wrong tree with reference to this thread? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=109539 i spoke to jezzybabes and he seemed to think that the eibach spring kit on his car offered a better ride quality to that of the std suspension. would anyone be able to comment on this, or do people think that to get the ride quality and smoothenss (and reduced rattles) we would be better getting some new UK springs from toyota? thanks, Weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that thread you were asking for MORE ride comfort - correct? The Eibachs are MUCH harder than than the stock jspec springs and lower the car around 1inch. They are a nightmare on bad roads.

mista weava Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Thanks Homer - i was only going on the advice given to me by Jezzybabes. i have had two set so eibachs on an impreza and an evo. they firmed things up in the manner you suggest. one mans comfort is another mans bone shaker i reckon. reckon jezzy may be able to come up with the goods ofr stock UK springs afterall. we just want ride quality!!!!

I expect Jezzy thought you were after better handling rather than ride comfort. Lets face it, there are few people that ask for softer ride with these cars! I'm sure he can help you out with some UK springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 He's after a softer ride matey, not improved handling. Unusual I know Must admit, if I moved back to the west country I'd be doing the same. I was doing 15mph along some roads near my folks place - Eibachs/Bilsteins are not the best option for those living out in the sticks!

Jezz Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 My Eibachs feel way softer than stock springs??! How about the Tein springs? Anyone have any experience with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista weava Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 lol - as ever no definitive answer! i do know that i am fed up with the current arrangement though. OK, who has been in a UK car AND a Jap spec car on crap roads then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 My Eibachs feel way softer than stock springs??! How about the Tein springs? Anyone have any experience with them? They must be tired then (give you £50 for them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, who has been in a UK car AND a Jap spec car on crap roads then? Me! The UK Spec has a far softer ride. Jezzy, you must have some knackered springs, or something thats been wrongly badged. The Eibachs have a higher spring rate than the standard jap specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista weava Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 do we know whether the UK cars have a different danmper rate also? thanks for the help lads - really appreciate it, and i feel we are getting to the bottom of this one now.

Gaz Walker Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 The best springs for a Supra for ride comfort are Espilir (GT Super Down), they are not cheap but way superior to Tein and Eibach. £245 for a set. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
