Well i would go wit TIEN/TOKICO setup.
If you want the best of coilovers, get either TIEN SS damper, or JIC Magic coilovers.
Best place to get TIEN is from RJ@UPFD.
And best place to get TOKICO is from.... http://www.proamauto.com/page20x20.htm

so whats the difference between coilovers and the spring/strut

by **SleeperSolara** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 8:10 am

Struts and springs is what you have stock.
Coilover is.......http://www.jic-magic.com/productsjic_susp_flta2.htm
And i would advise not to get those cheap coilovers, like skunk2.

i prolly wont get the coilovers cause i cant see the use in that price...its not like im going to race it....its more for the lowered look

by **SleeperSolara** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 8:27 am

Yeah than your best bet is the Strut and shocks.
It should be $500 to $600 for the Shock and Strut setup.

Dude your houston local. Our home boi at don mcggill does suspension installs' for $150 (that includes alignment)..yeah at the dealership for that pricing!!!! He did matt's car (negative), he did the turbo_tacoma's, and he's the one that installed mine too! 70% of the suspension work for HTC was done by him...you prob remember him..he's the one that wrecked up his celica gt-four last year! BTW: when we meet up for the gauges..you can ride my car to see if trd springs suite you!
