teins & tokiccos

teins & tokiccos

I am not liking my tein/tokicco blues combo.
It does ride rather stiff. I already did cut the bumpstops.
Anybody else?
Well I ordered a set of koni bumpstops; which I hope will remedy the problem.

well last night i slowed down and drove over a steel plate at a construction site and the shit bottomed out...I was thinking wtf? so I added an inch more bumpstop and now the shit rides really stiff because the suspension travel is really short and it is like I am riding on the bumpstops. I had this similar problem on my 03 corolla too. I let you guys know if the koni bumpstops will remedy this problem.

I already took my struts apart last night right after I ran over that steel plate. It does not compress very easily so I know
my struts are still good. I should hope so since it is only 2 weeks old.

I had my alignment done today, shit i need to get a camber kit for my front.
I read somewhere somebody bought one and did not need to use it, anybody want to sell theirs?

are you serious? I was going to get the kyb's but I got such a good deal on the tokicco's.
btw your car is so sick!

I think I will now get a set of trd or eibach springs.

I got my eibach pro-kit inconjunction with the tokicco's. The ride is much firmer but not to harsh. I managed to crawl under the car while it was on the ground and noticed that there is not much suspension travel with these cars. The pro-kit lowers the front about 1.5 inches and the travel between the top cap and the bump stop is only a few inches. Oh yeah, the ground-control bump-stops are so much better than the cut stock ones. *I would like to add I had such great service and technical support from ground-control, they sent me another pair of bump-stops for free since they sent me the wrong ones* Big thumbs up to ground-control.

ditto. I thought it handled so great and it still does...but now I am wanting swaybars to stiffen up the suspension a little more. The front upper strut bar mad a slight improvement.

Yeah, that's pretty much the set to use. I wish I went and got the GR-2's. The ride was so so terrible with the s-techs and tokico's.
Overall I got no complaints since I changed out my springs to Eibachs. Now I can't wait to get
my swaybars. Does anybody here have just the rear swaybar? I read somewhere if you run just the
rear swaybar (whiteline) it's there is less understeer vs using a front and rear swaybar?

eh, audioslave03 could you post a pic of your car.
looks sweet.

I suggest you get the kyb's then.
The Tein kyb combo is pretty much the way to go if you want comfort.
