Not sure whats a good life tire or ride...

tires i have is Falken and kuhmos

Kumhos are good ride from what I remember and average lifespan. BF Goodrich G-force I recall as being mediocre ride and horrid lifespan as well as expensive (and I drive very conservatively). I could be wrong, but I think I have Yokohamas on atm (car getting worked on) and have never had a problem w/ them. I hear good things about Toyo as well but have no experience with them.

Hello!

by **mechahayai** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 3:09 pm

The RS7s are on. I was hoping to find some GY triple treads I could afford, but ended up finding a deal on some 235 BStone Turanza Serenities. The 235s fill it up and rub a bit in the front when the suspension is at or near full compression.

I need to do something for the front as the rear squats about 1/2 an inch with a full tank making the front look bad. Anyone know where I can find a good deal on the TRD springs or have any other suggestions?

Pics to come soon.

Nice tire choice!
As for your gas situation, you could only put half a tank in her.

You might find some TRD Springs on here, just gotta keep an eye on the wanted/for sale threads. The Teins offer a lower front end drop. Whatever you do dont buy sprint springs. They suck!

Do the Teins require any suspension tweaks? IIRC the TRD springs are a direct swap and don't adversely affect the suspension/alignment.

^^^The Teins are a direct swap as well, no suspension mods needed.
Although, a TRD RSB helps a whole lot.

How does it help?

Put it this way, the solara is a boat! and with the RSB, you wont feel it as much, but still a very noticable difference while making turns.

Like Fernando said the Lara is a boat. The RSB helps keep the rear down when cornering. I drove mine for a few years with the stock SB and springs/struts. When I would corner it felt sluggish and heavy. The back end would not stay down at all. Then I got some Monroe SensaTrac struts w/Tein springs and then a TRD RSB. It didnt even feel like I was driving the same car. The struts and springs had a slight difference but when I added the RSB, HUGE DIFFERENCE.

The best mod on my car right now.
