AE86 spring suggestions - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well, since I'm installing shocks, I thought I might as well consider some springs. What would you guys recommend for something that is like a sport spring rather than a race spring. I'm going to pair it up with tokico blues all around. What are you running now?

i got some CMR springs coming in. 1.5" drop, 250 and 275 for F and R rates respectively

I have a set of those for sale as well... email me for details: ae86_drifter@yahoo.com

Other springs to consider, Intrax, Apex, Tociko, etc.

so who can get kg/mm springs then?

i've got trd's on tokico illuminas...they're okay. not very competetive but there is an added stiffness

kg/mm? try http://www.aj-racing.com

they're in vancouver but they can get the dr21's for like $400. the s21's have to be ordered and probably will cost more.

i got TRD shocks 8 ways adjustable
with checkman spring F 6Kg/mm R 4.xkg/mm 3"drop
but it's not good for drifting. :sad:

Bilstein Sports and Espelir 2" drop springs (like hell they drop 2", probably 1" max).

why not good for drifting? thats the recommended setup for drifting..common by almost all 86's in japan...6 front and 4 rear.

it's not easy to go sideway.

KAZ, are you running an LSD? Cuz if you want to drift, it's going to be hard without one.

Hey ek-9, it was nice meeting you this past weekend. Do you usually hang out there, i think im gonna be there a lot more since it seems like a 240sx mini meet. Do you know if the digi-pics those guys took are anywhere online? I wanna post them on my photo album. Thanks.
p.s hope to see your Hachi soon.

martiniracing · 06-26-2002, 11:51 PM

kaz, are those the rates that the checkman 'sport' springs are?

ek-9 · 06-26-2002, 11:58 PM

Hi Bud. Nice meeting you AND your car! :razz: Last week was our first time checking that place out this yaer sicne last year it was a little crazy. I'm pretty sure that if the weather is nice (which I'm guessing it should be) we'll be there again. As for pics, I looked thru the ones posted and I didn't see your car. But if you make it out again, I'll take some pics and send them to ya! You can contact me thru email to confirm whether or not we'll be there.
