What is the differnce in spring rates between the progressive coilovers and trd shocks + springs.

Also would it be worth putting money in progressive coilover for the street? I want good handling on turns during spirited driving. No competing or anythign jsut street.

 

If you're thinking of spending the money for shocks/springs, and you can afford to spend just a little more, get coilovers. The ride will be excellent and the height is adjustable. Worth the money if you're willing to spend it.

 

But coilovers cost 1100 - 1200 trd shocks plus springs are 650 together. Unless you mean the tein basic coilovers but I mean are they damper then the trds? Iam just tryign to figure out how good the trd shcoks and springs are and whats damper then them and how much? Id buy something for 800 - 850 if it was better then the trds but just highet adjustable I dont really see how would use that unless the shocks on the basic are damper and have better springs?

Trd shocks and springs vs tein basic coilovers which handles better? If the teins handle better then I ll def get them.

 

Esitmate on TRD springs 165 lb/in F and 300 lb/in R.

Teins are roughly 400lb/in F and 550 lb/in R. The Teins will handle better but with the rates on them it'll beat you to death on a daily driver.

The Tanabes offer the best compromise based on spring rates and you can get the non-helper spring model for ~$879,

 

whoa thats way too much for me with teins especially with the roads here I feel like my car is about to fall apart on stock suspension.

Where can I get the tanabes from?
