swandip Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Has anyone fitted these and what is the actual drop on these when fitted. I will be fitting them on standard billies. If you have pics then even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have recently had RS-R sports springs fitted. Mine are adjustable ride height by the way, not sure what your selection is. But I can adjust from no ride height.. ie. wheels scrubbing the wheel arch .... and upto a few centimetres above stock ride height. They are a very stiff spring by the way. More suited to devoted trackday use and racing IMO. Very bumpy on 'B' roads. Seem to work well on 'A' roads and they definitely control the dynamics of a Supra when cornering I'll give them that ! I'll be giving mine a thorough testing on the Nurburgring in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 James, the best is the Ebach springs mate for your billies... in comfort and handling... def worth it.. Teins are good and cheaper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have RSRs too. They're very low and quite crashy over the bumps. No so good 2-up with a bootfull of Calais booze either (as I found out yesterday). Hmm - I wonder if they're the adjustable ones? I've never checked...

swandip Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I use the car daily so ebach sound more user friendly for my needs. How can you have adjustable springs? do you not mean shocks that are adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think thats what he meant Ebaich are a good choice mate, Chris wilson recomends them also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aron's setup is actually coilovers rather than springs Ivan so if you've got separate shockers to your RS*R springs then they'll not be adjustable. Ebaich are a good choice mate, Chris wilson recomends them also.. I wouldn't quite go that far as to say he recommends them, iirc he states that the ride height is still too low when using them.

AJI Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Adjustable in the sense that you have a number of rings on a screw thread that control the compression of the spring.... (the screw thread is on the shock absorber). So it is indeed the shocks that would control the spring adjustment but I was trying to differentiate between the bound and rebound control that are usually associated with adjustable shocks. I use the car daily so ebach sound more user friendly for my needs. How can you have adjustable springs? do you not mean shocks that are adjustable.

ivan Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Never thought to check if they're coilovers but I suspect not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah Supra-Man I know what you mean, I think its a 'If you have to lower it' kind of thing... James has 19'' on standard ride hight, It does need to be a little lower to get the 'look' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
