looks good mate, but not sure on the red Badge, bumper has the impreza look which suits it well

Can I just remind people that want pics chopping, when you email me, asking me to alter them with this that and the other, it would be nice if you ACTUALLY ATTACHED the images to the email!

lol @ crinks! :P

woops!

i have emailed someone who has bought a set of coilovers on the eBay link on page one and he reckons someone from Driftworks.com says they come out of the same factory as D2 coilovers and Megan's ! he is guna tell me what they are like when he gets them fitted, he also said the only drawback is that they do not have camber adjustment plates on top. Only rubber mounts on top, with bearings, i dont know what it means to be honest ! he will be fitting to a 91-99 MR2. what you guys think ?

the spring and shocker set i was looing at was Koni adjustables

and not g-max

heres a link to see what people think

i do agree about costs but i wuld definately replace the front shocks, to be on the safe side if i used lowering springs, if i changed the springs onto my orignal shockers and then one went i would be annoyed, has anyone used g-max suspension before? i lowered my last car (polo) and i did bust a shocker .

found these but they seem cheap

Hi guys

A couple of weeks ago I had the TEIN basic coilover kit fitted, today I have been trying to adjust the ride height.

So first I wound the clamps upwards on the rear, refitted the wheel etc and the car was clearly higher.

So I started again, and wound the clamps down, so low that the spring was loose and had little tension on!.. Fitted the wheel, and the height was roughly the same as the other side!

... So what am I doing wrong?! I just seem to be adjusting the tension on the spring... Can you even adjust the ride height on this kit? I was under the impression you could ...

"Adjustable ride height via the spring seat, lowering range front from +29 to -77mm, rear from -39 to -97mm."

Any help would be great, Thanks

Rich

alrigt mate just wondered what you thought of the kit so far , what made you go for the basic kit and not the super street, where did you get yours from?

cool i will have a look

has anyone on here had a set fitted ? wouldnt mind seeing a pic of a corolla with them fitted ,

what is the difference between 'basic' and ' super street'

You can adjust dampening on super street.

Dan

i am not planning on tracking it so would the basic be more suited road use

what is the difference between 'basic' and ' super street' , there is only £60 difference in price. springs are the easiest option but my shockers have covered 98k miles so i wouldnt think they would be up to the job, which then put me onto the thought of a g-max spring and sport shocker set about £440, and for a bit more money £690 for tein super street £630 tein basic, i am a spirited driver and think sprigss an standard shockers might just be a waste of time,

as i am now keeping my car i thought i would see what people would recomend for a suspension upgrade,

springs,

spring and shocker kit,

coilovers,

i now money wise there can be a big cost diference between them but i am thinking for a couple of months time so i can save a few pennys in the mean time,

if anyone can give there own experiance or some links to web sites it would be much appreciated,

i was thinking spring shocker kit to try and keep a bit of ride comfort as i would guess coilovers could be quite harsh on the roads i drive on, namely the dales!

not sure if my case is simular but what you are saying happened to me , it would beep flash and apply the brakes in weird places, i.e going 20mph round an slightly up hill corner, slowing down in a straight line and other places like that, but never when i was drivng at speed, but then i remembered that i had new tyres on the rear, so i swopped them round for the fronts and it stopped ammediatly, i put it down to a hard compound tyre and not bedding in well.

like i said before, i dont know if this hepls but thought i would add my experiance with vsc bleeping.

hope it gets sorted

unsure on job situation at the mo so the car is back up for sale £2300

99k still needs the stuff doing to it that is listed above.

dont want to get rid, as over the past few weeks i have really enjoyed it but i have to be reallistic,

is it not illegal to not carry one?

so why did you bother even typing that

price is at £2800 no offers, i have found a new car but need the cash to buy it !

i think there a bit different, i guees proper t sport side skirts will be easier to fit, i will sell the splitter seperate but i would prefere collection from either DL8 SNP or PR2 2JY dont konw how much postage wil be.
