Hey I drive an 88 turbo with shot stock suspension. I just replaced the ball joins and control arms, and am now looking at shocks and springs. I was hoping to get in on the D2 group buy but it looks like the money just isn't there. I've been thinking about about koni yellows and the ground control coilover setup.

My big concern is that I've been told the konis are not adjustable once their on the car. Are they impossible to adjust or just difficult? If they are completely non-adjustable, then what shocks are adjustable on the car and worth a flip.

This car is a daily driver and a fledgling autocrosser.

Thanks - Clay

i was wondering if there was any aftermarket springs that keep about the same as the stock ones. maybe 1 inch drop at the most. thanks for any info.
most of the ones i have looked at were at least 1.5 inch drop.

I run the tokico springs and TEMS struts.....I love it. My friend OSOFAST7M uses the HKS Struts (which) have a Tokico stamp on them.

i have Eibach springs with Bilstein struts, i recently screwed my car up (if you see me posting for parts in the forums :p ) but thankfully before i installed these new ones because one o my tems struts almost bent in half, spraying oil all over.

also have ST sway bars, rear strut brace (from suprasport.com), LIPP rear traction arms, and the front brace Suprasport sells... once i figure a way to mount it ( bolt in, my ass :p )

worried about lowering the back :p, my HKS already scrapes and it wasn't lowered before

I have stock springs with TEMS and new stock toyota struts. What would be the best lowering spring that tems compatible? I was looking into ST....any thing about those with TEMS?
