Ok I went and searched the whole tc drop thread and I ended up more confused on which springs I want<< so please help me here.

Hotchkis F-1.7/R-1.97

K-Sport F-2.0/R-1.75

Tein S-Techs F-2.4/R-2.0

Sportlines F-2.0/R-2.0

H-techs F-1.9/R-1.5

Ok at first I wanted the H-techs but know am undecided some please post pics and help me out here.. Thanks to you all....

 

where do u live? if it was me, i'd lower my car according to the condition of the roads...

 

I live in El paso Tx. Also with which of these springs would I need a camber kit.???

 

since i live in michigan i can only maby get the TRD springs... i scrape all the time at stock height now. i hate it.

 

From what I understand, anything over 2 in drop you would need a camber kit for.

I live in Baltimore (roads are horrible), which is why I got the TRD. I have have about a 1/2 to 1inch gap between the fender and the wheel (I have 18s on it). I feel that it gave the car more of an aggresssive look. But if you want more of the slammed look, I would go for something like Hotchkiss. I think alot of people have them and are pretty happy with themy. If you go with Hotckhiss, I would get the whole suspension package (front and rear sway with the springs). I have both the front and rear sways on my car and they rock.

Hope this helps.

 

i would go with hotchkis or sportline


1.9" drop in the rear is okay.. not too much and the rear looks higher with the 1.9 drop compared to the front which has only 1.7 drop..
so i wouldnt go with anything else which has close to 2 inch drop on the front but only 1.5 drop in the rear. because the rear will be too high.

s tech to much on the front.. k sport and H tech not enough in the rear.

so as i said either hotchkis or the sportline

 

Watching

 

i went with hotchkis springs, sway bar and strut bar on 18' rims

no complaints

 

Don't look to a thread to tell you what's "best"... what do you want?

Do you want handling?
Do you want adjustability?
Do you want to slam it ?


If you want handling, TRD.
If you want adjustability, buy coils, then set your height to your pleasure.
If you want to slam it, S-techs.

If you want something in the middle of it all, buy whatever. It's all roughly the same from a strictly appearance perspective. Hell, most of them will settle out anyway.

 

go hotchkis

 

any piks..............................

 

I narrow my dcisions... know am in between these 3...

1.Hotchkis
2.Sportlines
3.Ksport

 

no ksport springs, they're always uneven, the rear's drop nicely, but the fronts arent, it just isnt a pretty drop.

i havent seen the sportline drop i dont think

and the Hot-chicks springs are always a nice stance. in my opinion i'd go coilover's but if you have to get springs hotchkis is the way to go!

 

If I get the hotchkis would I need a cmaber kit...How about the H-techs

 

i wouldnt say you'd need a camber kit for any of them, just an alignment and your good, are you on stock rims?

 

yeah am on stockies.....would the car bounce alot with hotchkis
....

 

haha with any stiffer springs the car would bounce significantly more, from what i've heard, hotchkis is a nice smooth ride compared to the stech's, but the htech just isnt low enough, but the ride is also pretty smooth. its either or but i'd go with hotchkis...

 

I mean I dont want something to low but not to high...and a smooth ride,,,,,would these still be hotchkis

 

i think so,
