dani_r Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have Bilsteins but find that ride really hard sometimes. Not sure if it's the roads, the car, or if the shocks are knackered! It might help if i had another supra in the area to try but not too many of those about round 'ere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Oem Definetly OEM if you are living in an area with bad roads (and around Evesham I can understand why you're asking). RSR are mostly race stuff and tend to be extremely hard. My old setup was bone jarring when driving around rural roads in the west country. Bearly all Tein options are going to be similar, even of the softest settings are still very hard by comparison. Are you driving on rural roads?

JamieP Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 On the softest setting id say tein superstreets are very close to oem, i could hardley tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 *Sorry to hijack your thread a little Adam, but if my Supra has been lowered (be previous owner) would that make the ride much harder? Yes and normally by quite some degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 On the softest setting id say tein superstreets are very close to oem, i could hardley tell the difference. Did that have stock wheels on when you went to the soft settings? I'm just wondering if you were on 19's when comparing the two as 19's will make even stock spings feel quite hard on the bumps. My experience is quite different to that with the superstreets, it was far harder than stock with the height up and the dampers on soft.

My experience is quite different to that with the superstreets, it was far harder than stock with the height up and the dampers on soft. I had the siennas on when changing to superstreets, still with stock topmounts and i could not tell the difference in damping when on softest.

dani_r Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes and normally by quite some degree. Cheers Homer. Looks like I'll be getting some stock springs! Anyone got a price on these? Maybe some fancy new Tein Superstreets might be in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 *Sorry to hijack your thread a little Adam, but if my Supra has been lowered (be previous owner) would that make the ride much harder? Definitely. Lowered needs matching dampers to be really correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 My matched spring and damper set up is considered a very good compromise by many... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 hi lads could anyone recommend the best suspension for soaking up the bumps on the road i was thinking tein or rsr but not sure Mr Wilson's is the best you can get. It's also good for roads without bumps, with or without corners, humps, lumps, general disrepair and other elements associated with travelling from A to an approximation of B!
