[Mk2] [Turbo] Rate your coilovers
what coilovers do you have and how do you rate them?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rate your coilovers
TRD are a bit noisy and a can be a bit hard going over bumps but my god have they improved the handling, seriously if someone had told me how much they improved it I would not have believed them.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

They dont have all the adjustment of some like the K-Sport/ D2 but I would not swap to any other make!

Going to fit TRD Anti Roll bars next month![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rate your coilovers
Twll you the best thing about the TRD's- lifting mid corner and letting the back slide a bit in the DRY, would be dead trying it on standard supension.
Marks 10/10- which i missed off my previous post ![Brick wall ](*,)](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif)
