I ordered Ground Control suspensions for the tC but i dunno what kinda shocks to roll on. Any suggestions?? Also, any of you know a shop where I can go to for installing my springs. I live in San Francisco. Thanks.

 

I think your only option is stock or TRD. Does anyone know if there are going to be any adjustable struts available?

 

ZERO aftermarkte shocks for the tC ATM....

besides teh TRD's

 

With a few tools, its really not that hard to do by yourself. It will save you some $. I installed my Tein coilovers, and I'm a girl with just basic mechanical skills. I'm sure you could find someone on this board in your area that would be willing to give you a few pointers.

I would imagine that Koni, Tokico, KYB, etc. are all working on adjustables for the tC, as they've got to know that the tC is a hot new platform for the sport compact market. However, it is just a matter of waiting I guess.

 

thanks for the head up nikki....i was actually planning to get the koni's too cuz my friends said ground controls and koni yellows are a good combo. so i guess i just have to wait for it.

 

You are very welcome!

Yes, the Koni/Ground Control combo is a great suspension upgrade. Thats what I would have gone with if it was available. Let me know how it turns out once you get 'em!

 

i recently contacted koni and they confirmed that the tC is in their r&d right now. they expect to have something before the end of this calendar year. sure wish it was sooner.... *sigh*

 

damn it....my ground controls are comin in this week. i guess i gotta save em till the koni's come out

 

I live in sacramento and if you wanna drive up here ill install them for you. pm me if your interested so we can work out some details

 

im down to drive down to sac. just that i dont got any shocks to roll on yet. im afraiid of my stock shocks blowing.

 

Well, your stock shocks won't blow right away.....I'm sure they will last until the Konis are available. It took me two years to blow the stock shocks on my MR2 with aftermarket springs

 

i think it depends on you drive, some dude in another thread waisted his stock shocks in 2k miles. he was on tein s type springs, so that may be the reason.

 

I sure hope so cause I got the TRD springs cause they said they would work fine with the stock shocks and I wasn't planning on getting new shocks anytime soon. Well, that and the fact that I could have them done at the dealers before I ever drove the car off the lot. I know it is a ripoff, but I didnt' want to drive one single day with the stock spring height!
