Spence Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Has anyone got a pic of the supra on tein lowering springs? They say that the rear are lower than the front and mine is already like that, the front is quite high and the back is quite squat. Hoping the tein springs might sort it. Any pics???

Neil-NA Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Mine is on KYB's and Tein s-tech, its an NA though. It does seem to sit higher on the front, so i have put the OEM shocks and spring back on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spence Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 The only ones I can find are lower on the rear. It will look like I'm going up the strip when I'm stood still lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Have a look in my garage. It had Tein lowering springs on when the original pics were taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've just fitted Eibach Pros onto yellow Bilstiens on my JDM TT. Sits a lot nicer than the Teins IMO. Not the most flattering angle. Can post a better one tomorrow if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 would like to see the better pics of the Eibachs. I am about to choose between the eibachs and the tein, and the pictures above of the teins dont show the car lowered enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'll take some more side on photos tomorrow get get them up. I do really like the way the car sits (and rides) on the Eibachs. Just about perfect IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spence Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 The reason I ask is I want it to be low but comfy. Here's a pic of my r32 on hks coilovers. http://img.tapatalk.com/5e0c6b79-79e4-1a16.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/5e0c6b79-79f5-941d.jpg Most uncomfortable car I have ever owned. Lol but it was for drifting. The supra is my daily and don't want to ruin the ride but get it a little lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 This thread is something I've wanted to see for a while as a search doesn't really bring up that many pictures. I'm thinking of just lowering springs for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Snapped a couple of photos on my iPhone before I went to work this morning. I can't remember the quoted drops front and rear (-34mm front -28mm rear rings a bell) but it never drops the quoted amount anyway so I'd take it with a pinch of salt. IMO, it sits perfectly. Too high and it looks like a Land Cruiser, too low and you spend your life scraping your splitter / skirts / exhaust etc. and that's not a cool look!! This is how it sat pre-lowering...urgh!
