About to install TRD Springs

[spiderman3k]

Next week I am going to have the TRD springs installed. Any recommendations? Should I change the shocks with the springs. I do not know much about suspenison...

[MRQtwinturbo]

how old are ur shocks??...it is good to change them at the same time..it will save u in labour......

[spiderman3k]

I think they are pretty old. I am the 3rd owner and i do not see any records of the previous owner changing shocks. Should I buy stock shocks or do you have any recommendations? I am cheap!!!

[MRQtwinturbo]

if ur cheap then i'm the wrong person to be giving u advice....

any adjustables will do...tokiccos (sp?) or kyb would come to mind as reasonably priced ones...

Get coil's, springs would just give you a bouncy ride. If you have a lady in there, you don't want her head to be hitting the roof when hitting bumps or ramps on the freeway.

What would you suggest for Coilovers?

[MRQtwinturbo]

coilovers are not much better..they still have a really harsh ride....but the beauty of them is that u can adjust how soft are hard u want the ride to be..u can do this with adjustable shocks also....unless ur willing to shell out over 1500 for a set of coilovers....the avg driver will benefit more from just a basic spring/adj shock combo and u'll save urself alot more money too.....

I agree, since you said you were cheap, i am assuming you dont want to spend $1200 (the cheapest coilovers i have seen). I would get some mildly adjustable struts to put on in conjunction with your springs. This will save you time, like MRQturbo said. Drive it for a while and make your adjustments accordingly. Your springs and struts should come out to about 40% the price of coilovers.

TRD Springs was install today. The TRD springs are cool. The car rides better and not rough at all. I will be glad when I get off work. I am going to have some fun. Next I am getting Rear Strut Bar. Any experiences with TRD Rear Strut Bar?

[MRQtwinturbo]

is the trd design a cross brace like how the stock one is???....i have a set of GAB front and rear strut bars.....i prefer how those look better....

[spiderman3k]

I have a stock front strut bar and the trd's front strut bar looks like it, if the pictures are accurate. But I am still doing homework on which brand Strut Bar to purchase.

thats a good idea. go for it

Tokico Illuminas set on 4 or 5 all around will give a very good ride.

I say a set of Tein's full suspension coil overs, adjustables but pretty pricy... but very much worth it though
