SLE and TRD springs?

Postby cklinh » Wed Feb 01, 2006 3:44 pm

I'm getting the Tein Super Street Coilovers.

Are you certain there's a Tein Basic for our cars? I don't see it on the Tein website.

Here's the link to the Tein Basic page:

Anyone know what those rims are? Me Likee! Might look good on a Silver. (... and just to make it on topic..."Springs")

P.S. Do all coilover manufacturers cover their backside this well?

Excellent info on the SLE struts/springs. This answered a lot of questions I've been having on modding my new SLE ragtop.

BTW - I love the look of your ride! Don't mind if I copy you a bit do you? ;)

So do the SE's have the same suspension as the SLE's?

So - I hear everyone saying so far not to even consider installing the TRD springs on an SLE with the stock shocks/struts - but what about the Eibachs? I don't want to super-stiff buckboard ride and a 2" drop might be a little too much for my taste with the TEINs (not to mention the cost right now).

Next question is, can the lowering springs be a DIY garage project or definitely have them installed? I assume the Toe and Camber need to be readjusted afterward, right?
