Default i just installed my H&R's

HOLY CRAP I didnt think it was gonna take so long but it did. At first I called toyota and they wanted 500 bucks plus tax to install them and im like uh no ill get off my lazy but and do them myself. But if anyone is every going to attempt to do coilovers please be careful, i got careless and almost broke my fingers. But your also going to need one hell of a breaker bar to get the front bolts off. If anyone has questions let me know and ill try my best to help you out.

lol well i only took one ride around the block so i cant really tell. But i did a little quick turns and it would just handle anything. Im so glad I did them myself but on the other hand im not cause it was a pain. But ill let you know more about it tomorrow when I take it to work. Oh and 2fast I have to thankyou cause you played a major part in deciding this suspension for me. Im really glad I didnt go with tein.

Just read about how stiff the ride could be sometimes. I took the car for a quickie and it rode like a dream!

My Tein SSP is great, not too stiff at all. H&R is good too.

I'd probably rock some H&R before Tein... that's just me though. Based partly on my own perceived reputation of each company and some things I've seen/read.

I was thinking about getting the SSP with the EDFC. But I am not really going to autocross that much, just something to play around with. I think both products are amazing and each of them have their bonuses.
