Lowering springs/shocks help

[Pippo21]

Planning to slam my small body and just searching for pictures on the internet and saw this. (See picture) ilang inches kaya drop nito mga sirs? Also, i dont wanna compromise ride quality so looking for ideal compromise of drop and comfort...

Any suggestions on what springs and shock combo to use? HM po kaya?

[saksidriver]

Based sa picture i think it's 1.5inch drop. 1.5inch drop ang ok na drop if you're after comfort. Maraming lowering springs brand na available para sa smallbody, bigbody, lovelife. These 3 gens of corolla share the same suspension set up. Sparco, TRD, Tanabe, Apex-i, KGMM, Merwede, TEIN, H&R, Maxspeed to name a few. Marami pa yan. But the best for me is RS*R + kyb excel-g shock absorber. Closest to stock suspension and hindi gaano matagtag. Ingat lang sa mga nagbebenta ng pekeng lowering springs. Make sure na alam mo ang hinahanap mo. Marami na nabiktima ng lowering springs kuno yun pala ininit lang. Or save a few more and go for a full coilover set up. (Not the coilover sleeves ha)

Thanks sir! Pretty much slam dunk na ako sa excel-g ng kyb kasi nagkabit friend ko sa vios nya..

Pero for springs.... in torn beteeen tanabe NF's and maxspeed... which one would you recommend?

Maxspeed i know is cheaper but as far as comfort, im not sure.

most comfortable springs i've used is Tein and H&R.

[Pippo21]

Hmmmm ano po ballpark ng prices for both?

[saksidriver]

TEIN, H&R, Tanabe 12-15k brandnew

Maxspeed around 6k brandnew

Springs pa lang yan. Gastos ka pa around 10-12k for the brand new kyb shocks.

Kung gusto mo naman mag coilover, BC and Dynamics coilover around 35k brandnew.

[Pippo21]

Reasonable naman pala tein and h&r... kasing presyo ng Tanabe... i heard harsh daw ride ng maxspeed? Is that true?

[mcbry]

ok din ride using Tanabe 1.5"... close to stock springs yung comfort nya.

Sabi nga nila, you get what you pay for. So kung may budget ka naman para sa mas magandang brand, wag ka na lang mag maxspeed. BUT, ride comfort is subjective. Pwede sa iba, matagtag na, sa iba naman komportable na. So mas maganda ma experience mo first hand. Kung may kakilala ka na naka maxspeed, try mo kung pwede makisakay para masubukan mo. Pag nag lower ka ng oto, talagang magiging matagtag regardless kung anong brand ng springs ang gamit. Basta legit springs ang gamit mo hindi putol or init, you should be fine.

Wala po ako kilala na may tanabe or eibach or rsr... a friend recommended against maxspeed daw kung ride comfort ang habol...

Kano naman po kaya range eibach?

[jhnkvn]

Eibach costs more or less the same as H&R. H&R is designed to be stiffer to compliment the more aggressive drop, Eibach's more of balance on stiffness and comfort while having a less aggressive drop.

I've heard a lot of good feedbacks sa eibach, so kung may magandang deal why not. But, syempre, pag nag lower ka ng oto, expect mo na talagang magiging matagtag.

Yun nga din iniisip ko ser. And magiging stiff yung ride. I was thinking kung ilowered ko pa yung fiesta or palit nalang ng 17inch na mags tutal di naman malake yung gap sa wheel well eh.

[carwhacko]

Yung eibach na qoute saken from Autibisyo 13k while sa JP wheels 14500 (fiesta)

[Pippo21]

Awww... mukang tanabe talaga... kay jeremy ko p naman talaga nalak ipakabit... maraming salamt po sa inyong lahat! Mabuhay kayo!!

[Pippo21]

Looking for feedback for fastone shocks, fellow tsikoteers.

Mura kasi and nung nakisakat ako sa friend ko na kakakabit lang, mukang okay naman. Anyone used it before and more importantly, does it mix well with a BT engine?

[saksidriver]

Hindi consistent ang feedback sa fast one. There are those na ok naman daw meron naman saglit lang tagas na agad. Ako naman nakagamit na ko ng fast one, hindi tumagal ng isang taon leak na. Partida, rear pa yun. Bihira pa ko magsakay sa likod and mas madalas malubak yung unahan ko na naka kyb. Better to save a bit more and get a kyb excel-g. More economical in the long run. Trust me.

[Pippo21]

Thanks sir! Good to know this feedback. Nakakatempt kasi talaga. P1350 lang per strut.
