I'm currently lowered on Eibach Springs w/ stock shocks, and can't decide whether to get the Tokico adjustable shocks or save up for coilovers. The Tokico shocks are going for $799 (priced in the Scion Life store), and for couple hundred dollars more I can afford some Tein coilovers. Which would be a better choice? All suggestions appreciated. Thanks

 

Springs & shocks:
PRO- Cost effective performance & able to choose the different rate of springs/shocks.
CON- Not able to adjust the height of the car unless changing springs.

Full Coilovers:
PRO- Excellent performance & able to adjust the height of the car at any time. (Some coilver models may have adjustable DAMPERS)
CON- Price.

I have the Tein Wagon Spec coilovers, I had it for almost a year, and I'm loving it! I can turn corner quicker then civics and won't bounce on FWY!

 

Cool, Thanks! Do know what the difference is between the Basic kit and the Super Street kit? Price, and what comes with the kit?

 

Super one is Damper adjustable, that's all the difference between the regular Wagon & Supre Wagon. If you're wanting more performance & adjustability, you should get ones with damper adjustable. I'm just not a racer when it comes to my box so I just got regular Wagon and saved few bucks.

 

The adjustable dampers are well worth the additional dollars!

read the bottom one "adjustable height lower bracket"..spring/strut combos as well as certain coilovers do not have this feature which protects you from the added risk of bottoming out after you lower your car.
