Dropping my car next week

Dropping my car next week

Im getting my pay check on Wednesday i was thinking of getting tein s techs, anybody else got any other suggestions? im looking for only coil springs, not struts or any thing else.

UPDATE
********************
My teins will arive today and i will have them installed later tonight, i will post pictures after i get the car washed and nice looking, and for anybody thats curious im getting the car dyno tested at a car even next week, i will also post up results here.

*UPDATE*

There are here!






I get them installed tonight after work.
Now what the heck are the rubber bumpers?

vogtlands!!!!

h&r's....

both german made. i have driven on h&r's and my vogtlands and they are very similar in stiffness. 1.25 inch drop. not super riced out.

coil spings...obx gravitron? or w/e rollatuner used to have

Im thinking im just gonna order these,

I like the 1.9" drop in the front, and im having a friend install them for 50 bucks.

get skunk2 coilover sleeves...

REALLY!? I only need front spring, since i do delivery and my car gets really heavy in the back.

lol ure gonna drop a car u use to deliver?

dont just get fronts...lol. probably different spring rates. stiff front and super loose on the back. ew.

It only gets real heavy on Sundays otherwise I'll be okay how much is the ted drop?

my back used to get terrible in the back with people there. but since my new springs and struts are a little bit stiffer it doesnt anymore

I have a set of Eibach's for sale. They are the same as the TRD springs, and I think they are the same or really similar to H&R. They drive really nice and smooth.

s-techs have the best drop and there are spring strut combo for sale, i think on ebay also but search around you should def get some struts ot at least sleeves

i love my H&R

You're going to blow your stock struts out. I can see it already. You can't reliably throw lowering springs or coil over sleeves on stock struts and expect them to hold. If you can't afford aftermarket struts with lowering springs, I'd say forget it and save up for both. Just a word of advice.

+1

i saw put em on and save up for the struts, driving for a month or so on stock struts would be ok

It is too much of a pain to put them on the stock struts and then take them off a month later. I would wait until you have some aftermarket struts to put the springs on. Not to mention you don't want to have to pay for 2 alignments either.

Or you can save time and labor money and just buy a set of full coilovers.

There you go laying down the ground work for when you sell your K-sports in the future. LOL

exactly

im not paying labor

you are doing it yourself? make a diy or post pix. Ill have to change my struts and possibly springs on the AE82 so id want to take down notes.

:yeadat:

My Ksports are staying with the car even when I sell it. haha

Me and a friend are doing it, ill try to take some pictures but it might not be until next week. Depends on when the springs arrive. Its for the front only... for now.

H&R. You will not regret it.

Well i officially ordered my Teins today because i was sick with some nasty stomach thing, hopefully it will arrive soon i will post pictures with it installed.

read first post!

only fronts?
btw kinda engine work have u done?
i dynoed mine with just an intake at 86 whp and 100 ft/lbs on a mustang dynanometer

dang. I dont even want to know how little WHP i do if yours is that low

well what were you expecting? i have the 7afe rated at 115 hp and 115 ft/lbs of torque. Another thing is the mustang dynanometers are known for giving out lower readings in compared to a conventional dyno. Even then not like i can expect anything over a 100 at the weels, especially for a 16 year old car, thats not bad
