Thanks

Checked on the Toyota EPC the part numbers for the stock front and rear springs are different on the NA and turbo MR2. I don't know what the actual differences are between them.

Thanks Nic, appreciated
I've got some aftermarket springs on my Turbo, but they are just too firm, going to swap to a set of standard springs with my adjustable dampers in the first instance to test the other end of the spectrum (as I figure they will be cheap/easy to obtain hopefully)
I'll look for standard turbo springs

rev3 turbos have black bilsteins as standard if that helps

Re: Standard springs, same on Turbo and NA?
I'd assume the turbo and na springs are different mainly due to the weight difference between the two cars. Also some jdm aftermarket companies made different types for na and turbo.

Re: Standard springs, same on Turbo and NA?
Mmmm.... Weight differences are fairly minimal between tubby and n/a and I have to confess after nearly 7 years on this site I never knew them to be on different springs. That said there is certainly a difference between the early and later revs as ride height reduced over time.
If you want oem whatever call Ttevor at TCB. Not only will he know for sure but he'll probably have an appropriate set he can sell you.
