kill1308 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I used to run an Ohlins setup, but found it far too hard for UK roads even on the softest setting. Probably be nice if you're on smooth Jap roads Ended up getting HSD coilovers which are a bit over your budget, but I've been very pleased with them so far.

kill1308 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Where are they now? Sitting in a box in your garage?? Hehe, unfortunately not bud. I replaced the top mounts and was going to keep them as a spare set in case I ever wanted to track the Supra, mentioned to someone that I was changing them and that they would be coming off the car and had money thrust in my hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohlins would be high up on my wish list too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Which shocks are on your car at the moment? If you have Toyota Bilsteins (Yellow) I'd just get some Eibach springs and leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 BC racing on mine and I dont think I paid anything more than £500 and fitted them myself. It took a good days work to remove the old ones and set the new ones up and a bit of trial and error to get the right height. Just remember to take it for a little drive to let the suspension settle before considering re adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
