What Struts and Springs? (Noobie)


  • #16
    ST springs are still the best, but no longer available. Tokico Illumina's used to be pretty well equipped but quality and availability are now making them way less desirable. Bilsteins are the probably the best available shocks out there right now. But really the only available spring for the car worth purchasing are Eibachs. And Tokico Blue shocks are more than capable of handling them. You can match them with Bilsteins or Koni's if you so choose.

    Personally I've decided to go with S13 coilovers on the 86T if/when I get around to it. I think that will (1) give me the desired drop which should be at least 2 inches, since less than than don't look like nothing (2) be cheaper than a set of Eibach and Bilsteins…and probably work better. If I like it, I will sell my ST springs.

    enjoy building it yourself.
    if it fails, fuck it.
    at least you gave it a whirl.
