I'm saving for coilovers, haven't seen anyone have their tc slammed yet. If you have yours show it off and let us know what coils you have.

Those m"-@:$$: f"-&/$: I asked them a few days ago and they said they couldn't give me an estimated date! Owell still most likely buying them lol.

And to my knowledge nothing is wrong with tein (I have stechs springs) but for some reason not a whole lot of people on here like them. Idk. And Im just goin with tanabe because they have purple struts. :)

1.7" doesnt really seem that low for the front...

would you really get the tanabe coils over the tein super sport? who makes better coilovers? and yes 1.7" in the front isnt that low.

jtk2
10-07-2011, 10:41 AM
i would just because of the fact they are cheaper and purple. (purple/white/black is overall theme of my car. ) but seeing that the front only gets down to 1.7" thats kinda pointless.. so i mught be holding off for d2. they should be coming out with some next.

Would trust them after being powder coated.. Might just get the tanabe.. Waiting for them to text me back with additional info I asked of them.

KW's are actually rear the top of my list.

but i want to know more about them...all i know is that they are very good for other cars and u have a prototype. i was actually going to ask them about r&d, but decided not to since they are kind of far....plus u already got them

as of right now...

CUSCO > all, because of sponsorship
KW > all, if no CUSCO
STD > all, if no CUSCO, not enough info on KW, cant wait

So who is actually making a set of coilovers for the 2011-2012 tC and we can buy them today?

KidJustin
01-10-2012, 11:21 PM
STD suspension i believe is out now if u call them...not yet in their catalog

KSport is soon and Tanabe after than

still no ETA on KW, but there is a prototype made

cusco got nothing yet

greddy is thinking about it but nothing yet

I have a feeling we will be getting less and less stuff for the tC2 the closer it is to the FR-S release.

KidJustin
01-10-2012, 11:30 PM
i think the opposite. and ive talked to multiple manufactures

they are very much interested in the tC2 and xB2. they are just more interested in the FRS. currently they are working on FRS stuff so that once it is released, consumers can but aftermarket stuff already. so i say a few months after the FRS is released...the frenzy will ease up and the r&d will clear up for more work on the tC2 and xB2

No disrespect but, I think you just said the same thing I said. The car has been out for over a year and we have one set of coilovers for it?

KidJustin

actually the coilover issue is different

i was more talking about the general aftermarket scene

coilovers are much more expensive to produce and sell. the scion market is a niche market for cheaper products....meaning springs sell more than coils and companies would be wiser to produce springs to make sales

well for now tokico isnt doing anything for the tC2

they will be contacting me when/if plans change....most likely near the end of this year they MIGHT have interest

Looks awesome!! I was thinking of getting the KSport ones when they come out....does anyone have any good/bad info about them? I've kinda heard mixed things, but not from anyone who's used them...

So I jumped my car like 3 feet in the air on my mountain pass by accident. And nothing scraped. So glad I fist have lowering springs though lol. With the track I run I need something lower but that will keep me from bottoming out. Still in search of the set up for me lol. Btw kid if they do show intrest can u pm me?

KidJustin
01-11-2012, 08:00 PM
