Ok right now im running trd springs. The rear of my car is noticeably lower then the front (always has been) but now its really noticeable since i have the stereo in the back. What recomendations do you guys have? Should i change out the fronts to teins? Or just save up the money for the expensive coilovers? Does anyone have experience with arospeed coilovers for the tc?

 

i think you should just get springs that will lower more in the front that in the back (i.e. tein htechs 1.9 / 1.5 or tein stechs 2.4 / 2.0)

 

not sure if i can go much lower in the back.

 

the trd springs only lower 1.25 all around or equally lower the front and the back....so that means you should get springs that lower more in the front and less in the back...that way, the rear of the car may lower more to make it look even with the front..

 

coilovers!

 

How long would it take you to save for the coilovers? Because that's how long you'll have to ride with your current setup and are you willing to do that...?

 

If its purely for "ShoW" get springs.
If performance/handling are a factor I'd highly recommend adjustable coilovers (giving you room to adjust height to you liking). Daily driving will be a little rougher however, so be warned.

 

i cant justify spending more then 500 bucks on coilovers. i dont need a performance set, i just need an adjustable set. not to worried if its a little bouncy, my old trucks drove like tanks.

 

if you don't do spirited driving you could cut a coil or two off the front. but i don't recomend that unless you drive like a grandma most of the time. i also had this problem when i had my 2 eclipse aluminums. they were 40 pounds each and the box was 80 pounds so i bought tein coilovers . fixed the uneven drop but made the cd player skip A LOT. good luck.

 

nah im not worried about skipping the cd player, its a pretty expensive one, i doubt it will skip. i cut spring on my geo back in the day, i really dont want to modify the trd springs because i plan on selling themwhen i change them out. anyone know if some cheaper adjustables are gonna be realeased?

 

i have the bad azz alpine 9855. trust me if you got tein coilovers you cds would skip all the time.

 

damn you made an alpine skip? alpine is one of the highest ranked cd players, thats crazy you got it to skip. i use to run pioneer premiers in my geo and that thing ran like a tank and it only skipped over extreme bumps.

 

not only did i get it to skip i couldn't stop it from skipping it sucked . oh on our other conversation. i skipped it with my eclipses to. talk about spl those things were crazy, i could knock pictures off the walls in my girlfriends house. i sat in the driveway one time tuning my crossovers and rattled a cup off her table in the dining room. sweet.

 

lol my parents use to get made when i would adjust my amp in front of the house, she had porcelain ducks in the front window, they werent suppose to move . but my 80 year old neighbor would always come out and yell turn it up. ive had very very loud cars, but yet to break the marker to where you have to remove the cd player from the car. my silverado hit 151 db's before i blew the subs and even that cd player didnt skip.
