Shocks And Springs

[jdmparts_guru]

the IS300 shocks and springs will work on an IS200 or Altezza. However, the drop may be a little less, since the IS300 is more head heavy ...

[LennyLexus]

any idea how much of a drop i'll be looking at getting?

[jdmparts_guru]

Note that the drop of lowering springs is just for reference only, actual drop may differ. Also the drop will depend on what lowering springs you are using.

i'm going to be going for the shocks which TDi are advertising, should match ok with the eibachs.

Take a look in the TDi forum.

I've had a look around, think I'll be going for a Set of Koni Sport Shocks & Springs 30-35mm drop adjustable for a pretty tasty sum.. Its the next major mod on my list:)

I am currently weighing up between a Koni/Eibach combination, and a set of TRD's...any advice would be appreciated, as i want to just install one set and be done with it.

My mate has advised me that the Konis may be too hard for our roads.. and to go for bilstein as they make OEM suspension for MR2 Turbo, Supra etc.

But i'll be going agianst his advice and going for the konis (tasty price) ..

should have them fitted soon, then its hopefully a visit to dr bones :)

Raz...

I went to get a quote for rear shocks recently and was recommended KAYABA shockers which aparently are the OEM shocks. They were £120 for the pair.

I put this up before:

Hope that helps.

Seen your post bro, from what I gather the Konis are uprated, and adjustable..

Koni Equipped "sport" Suspension Kit 30 - 35mm Drop. The Koni SSK kit comes with four adjustable (yellow) Sport shocks (many with top adjustable facilty), lowering springs and Powerflex bumpstops.

Doesn't that mean that they are almost the same as coilovers?

[LennyLexus]

err over to someone techincal...

[LennyLexus]

my quick search has shown, coilovers offer adjustable damping too... where as shocks, just offer adjustable ride height, and i dont think you can increase ride height on uprated shocks but u can with coilovers.

(how that affects me, i dont know)
