Springs & Anti Roll Bars

SteveAudioX · August 4, 2003

I was thinking about my next add on, with the TTE SC now installed, i drive the car much harder, thus the car feels a tad unstable.

I was looking at the TTE springs and coilover kit, about 700 quid i think, and the TTE anti roll bar kit 350 or so.

Is it an idea to match brands, as i know the TTE roll bar kit has levels of stiffness adj..

Whats the difference between that and say the HKS one? is it worth spending the 700 pounds on the spring and coilover kit, or will the standard shocks handle lowering springs with simular results?

I know its a much talked about topic, but with so much brands out there now, i thought i'd ask.

Also has anyone got this kit, and how happy they are with it, or fancy a change?

As with any purchase, one always finds another better kit being launched/produced after they spent their hard earned cash..........sob's law or something.

Opinions will be much appreciated..

i have the hks kit and trd yellow race anti roll bars

the TTE set up is great for fast road use

i think the HKS is a little more specialised

where did you get your price for the tte coilovers at £700

The TTE anti roll bar kit is manufactured by Eibach. Don't know if it is cheaper buying the Eibach one?

Sorry Bazza, It was at 795 at TDI web site.. My mistake. :o

Sadly the HKS anti roll bars are no longer available, so I would recommend either TRD or TTE (Eibach do not offer them under their own brand name).

The TTE coil over kit is worth considering as a budget option but they are not adjustable for bump/rebound and have been tuned for the the fine German roads, not the 3rd world dirt tracks we get

If you only want springs, go for the Eibachs - you can't go wrong.

If you want something a little better, maybe consider the TEIN Flex system which is fine budget system which gives you the option of adjusting the ride quality from inside the car - nice B)
