man, i think i really messed up.

my friend with a xA had ordered some JDP HKS SF5 springs for the scion and it didnt fit his so i bought it off him dirt cheap and i am running them now with stock shocks,

my ride quality SUCKS.

people in the back seat ALWAYS complain, and the front is really bumpy also.

i want to get coil overs but im not sure that im gonna get the same drop i have, heres a pic of my car,,,



im tucking 16s!!

i know i could also buy aftermarket shocks but would my ride quality increase more if i got coil overs?

what are the best coilovers? thanks in advance,

danny

 

those springs may not be the rate compression for our ride...try just buying new springs.

 

they gotta be, they are from japan and fit the toyota bb

im looking into bags now tho

 

how low is the drop?

 

i think about 2.5"ish in the front 3" in the rear (because of my system)

 

like the drop.. nice pic of the tanning chick

 

I agree! But you might have blown shocks/struts with that low of a drop. Did you cut the bumpstops in the front?

 

Word! That is a nice drop and topless girl!

 

Was there a Scion in that pic?

 

She needs to turn over!

 

i used the bumpstops that came with the springs

i didnt see the girl there

 

After seeing that picture I'm convinced of two things:

1) I like 16s better than larger wheels. They look great.

2) That girl does need to roll over.

 

 

And the 2 guys standing behind the box aren't even noticing her! I'd be like miss do you need me to spread some suntan lotion on your back!? Or um maybe your front!

 

what wheels are those?

 

lol i was with all the people you see in the pix!

that girl is in 11th grade...

 

I have Goldline springs on my box. The ride is MUCH better
then stock, but it's only a 2.0" drop front and back. I couldn't
match your drop, and believe me, I want to!

Your shocks and struts could have leaked from that low of
a drop, check them for oil oozing out of them!

Coil Overs come in many varieties, and are usually performance
oriented, hence a bouncy ride. Maybe someone here knows
a set that would have a comfey ride but still allow you that
3" drop.

If they weren't so expensive, I'd be doing coil overs now too!
