Vogtland eibach Tociko ?

[Bunthy]

Hi,
I've pondering the question about my suspension system. I have a 96 avalon and the ride quality is good. But I want it to be better. I want a more luxury feel to it. So I've been browsing the search forum to see which is better eibach pro-sport or the vogtland. So far, I've read some people saying that Vogtland is better and doesn't sag. Whereas the eibach is safeer and smoother but sags. I've also read that the eibach and HPblues goes good together, should I go in that direction? I've seen Yoel's Avalon on cardomain with vogtland and HPblues on and they look great! So what do you guys think I should get.
What I'm looking for is something good so I don't feel the bumps and go over them with no problem. Any advice will help, THANKS!

hmm...so do you think I should go for a vogland/tociho or a eibach/toicho? Thanks~

Beware: Sticking with stock suspension might be better for normal econo-driving.

Vogtlands are plushish... nice and low while retaining a more sporty/luxury feel.

Is that a word?

Bah, who am I to say anything!

if I didn't already have Eibachs, I'd give Vogtlands a try. I've heard good things about them. How do they compare in terms of price?

[BLUEMEANIE]

$220usd shipped from CTM... I've seen em for 175usd before shipping on ebay. The quality really is amazing.

you want a more luxury feel to it? do you mean more sporty but less comfy? but more comfy?
changing your stock suspension won't make your ride more comfortable.. you will feel the bump even more.. since it will make your ride harsh in comparison


If you want performance..
Tokico HP and Eibach should be a good choice

ummm....why would anybody use tokico shocks if they want to have a "luxury" feel????

yeah. I thought putting in some tocihos and eibach will do that. If not those, what then should I use? If I wanted a sporty feel, is the tochio and eibach system the way to go? Thanks!

If you want a luxery feel, stay away from any of the ones you mentioned. They will make you're ride stiffer and harsher because theya re all designed for performance applications.

Now "sporty" is the opposite of "luxury" as far as car feel goes...

So, for luxury, meaning smooth and quiet, stick with stock suspension and high profile touring tires.

For sporty, meaning stickier and more agile, lower profile tires on wider rims and upgraded suspension. Tokico is a good pick and you can combine them with TRD/Eibach springs. I got TRD/Tokico on my '00 Camry and the ride is much sportier than stock. A lot harsher too, especially over city potholes, but quite comfortable on moderately good highways. I got no info on other springs.

Think also about a rear and front sway bars to further reduce side to side body roll.
