(cause i can thats why!!! thread Formaly known as what struts and shocks are you using??? )

since every body talks about springs 'n' all

what struts and shocks are you using on your lowered spring set up???

since some nice ppl are manipulating me in the right way to get more of a drop on my xA

 

TRD with TRD springs

 

stock shocks/struts with TRD springs

 

Trd shocks with Tein H-tech springs. It rides SOOOOO SMOOOTH now.

 

stock shock with Goldlines

 

Stock shocks, Hotchkis springs. I want to replace the shocks soon, but don't know what my options are.

 

I know Koni has a set out and of course the TRD ones.

 

I'm also running stock shocks with Hotchkis springs to lower and want to improve the ride. What's the latest on running Koni's in the back (I read it here a few wks ago)? Do you all still agree that this evens out the ride and removes some of the harshness? How does this compare to TRD shocks?

 

stock/stock with df210's

 

OEMs with GoldLines

 

your basically going to find that:

A) people are running stock hardware with aftermarket springs
B) people are running TRD shocks/struts with TRD or aftermarket springs
C) running coilovers which come with their own shocks.

 

just installed TRD Struts and shocks with Hotchkis springs.rides smooth with about a 1 12" drop.

 

Just for informations sake, here's a link to our suspension section and there's a fair amount of info on the TRD and Hotchkis Suspension systems. Check it out.

i am planning on buying from you next year when i get my next tax check next year and that it'll gimmie some thing to do to help ward off cabin fever :D

 

I have stock dampners with TRD springs. The handling characteristics are improved, although with the stock steelies and tires you will only notice a real change after the initial "bite" takes places in a turn (the tires slopping around on the thin wheels are the cause of this issue), the stability of the car is also improved a good amount. I have also made a few road trips since the install, and they do great. Has been a good choice on my xA, I would reccomend the TRD springs to anyone.

 

well i was kind of planning on going with the trd springs but kind of gottin talked into on going a little lower i think i'm gonna go with Tanabe NF-210 there just a few bucks more then the trd springs anyways

 

I just installed Hotchkiss with stock strut/shocks. Eventhough it rides better than stock but I think it's a little too soft. I am planning to upgrade the strut/shox in the near future.

 

TRD...but i wanna go lower

 

how long will the stock struts last with the lowering springs? and if i still have the stock struts with the trd spring, will the ride be better than it was?

 

stock with Tein S-techs
32,ooo miles with this setup
still sits well and works properly when pushed
