Bought new suspension... how will it feel?

Just wondering, as I can't put it in for a while! This is what I got:

Tokico non-adjustable struts
Eibach Pro kit springs
New Toyota strut tops
New dust boots
Full Prothane kit

I got a deal on it all... just under $500 for it!

Kewl

Tokiko shocks are a guaranteed good buy... I hope u bought everything new...As for the feel, u can expect a slightly bumpier ride than factory, but more comfortable than racing suspension. Good luck!!

Well, did it all but the prothane kit. Struts were toast, and one top felt like it was going to fall off!

Initial reactions... it handles bumps WAY better. No more slamming over them! The car is a good 2" higher though

As for handling... I dunno yet. The cut springs really made the car low, so it felt different. I feel too tall now!

Hmm

Man I dunno, I have H&R lowering springs on mine, and my ride seems to be like a rock over everything... however I love it around corners.... Makes it feel like a real sportscar
