tokicos and h&r's are a nice setup for the spring/shock combo. even with stock sway bars they handle pretty dam good. i used to hit canyons all the time with them and really like them and they would be a lot better with some upgraded sways.
ksport or stance?

doing 1 thing properly > doing 2 things half ass
if you notice, the people that are not happy with their coilovers are the ones that cheaped out on their coilovers

the S/T's seem reasonably priced i'll look into a set i've heard good things but the 22mm front seem overkill... its just huge! haha

i agree most of them probably bought megan's which i never considered an option but i am not spending $1500+ on coilovers right now, i have other parts to buy along with the suspension set up.
Nobody mentioned Tein Super Streets? That is what I have on my car and when it comes to handling, it is pretty darn good. Not a good thing when going over bumps though. Any thoughts?
Does anyone know if Tein would warranty their products if I am not the original owner since I bought a parts car with my Tein's on them? Thanks.

word on the board is they rust pretty easily which = not a good idea for a wisconsin resident such as myself. my car is stored now but i most likely wont have a storage spot next winter.
i cant answer that question but http://www.tein.com/service/index.html this can give you some information if they dont otherwise contact them.

the old adage "you get what you pay for," really applies to this one. ksport lost their reputation not only in the Supra crowd, but if you look into other boards, pretty much everyone says the same thing. i would give this one to Stance, and as far as spring rates go, if you are not happy with the rear, you could replace them with eibach or hypercoil springs with the rate of your choice down the line.
Well just ordered my Stance coilovers and they will be here on the 2nd. Once I install them I will let you know what I think, but from what I have heard they are awesome

please do, i havent ordered anything yet i still have about another month or so till the snow is gone
Well got my Stance in the mail and put them on the car today. What a pain in the ass. For the most part the installation was just like any other shock. These things are huge. The hardest part was getting the ride height set right. Had the damn tire on and off several times to get it set right. Then on the rears, because there is a bushing of some sorts on the lower control arm you have to grind off a little of the mounting shaft to get them to slide in right. Once installed they seem to ride nice. I have the adjustment set at 8 right now and unless you hit a huge bump they don't rub. I need to get my fenders rolled so I can drop them a bit more. The big test will be during my next autoX race in March. For the most part I am quite please with the quality and so far the ride is pretty much like I had it before. I might bump up the stifness to 10 or so and see how it works then. If you can afford them I would go ahead and get them. You will like them

Hey Poodles I tried tapping it but it wouldn't move not even with a 25 pd hammer and pb blaster so I did what I had to do to get it in place
My only beef with the Stance coilovers is that the rears do not go low enough. If you are looking for that "slammed" look then these are not for you. However if you are looking for a modest drop then these will do everything you want and surprise you
