[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.

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

sheer perfection in my eyes.
so glad i went for these over new springs and rebuilt struts.
car is a dream to drive now.not harsh in anyway and handles like it should.
10/10

Tein Superstreets with topmounts, Whiteline ARB`s and polybushes.

GAB Revo Stroke R's
- bought from a scrap yard for
£160, fairly stiff but not bone shaking.

Not bad in my opinion.

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 ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif)

I have the Apexi N1 spec coilovers fitted to my car, fantastic set of coilovers if you ask me plenty of adjustability height wise as well.







oh an i would give them 9.5/10
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rate your coilovers
are the ones in my link N1's?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rate your coilovers



and K sport all the same thing.






















Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rate your coilovers

i dont want to waste time doing them again in a year so il stick to picking either Apexi's or Teins i think
