Coilovers

[White Jet]

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to get an idea from the guys who have coilovers, whether its worth it? What i want to know is how is the handling improved and what is the ride quality like?

Cheers

I bought my Tivo Drummond Motor Sport Coilovers and while they were

getting installed I also fitted it with TRD front and rear strutt braces.

My friend, with all honesty I have never driven anything like it.

It stiks to the road like baby **** to a blanket!

DMS are a little more dearer then most others, I'd never go back to normal setup

unless I sell her ;)

I hope this helps you with your search to the perfect ride!

Kindest regards..............

I've been thinking DMS coils for a while as they are designed in Aust for Aust~n conditions. It's good to hear positive reviews :)

theres different sort of coilies u can look at, heres some that my friend and i researched on before i got my zero2..

cuscozero1 <--- aprox $2200?

cuscozero2 <--- aprox $2650

tein SS <-- aprox $1450

tein wagon <-- havent looked in..

d2 <--- aprox$1800?

DMS <--- $3k to 5k

Hot Bits <--- not sure

[SuperDave]

Don't think Tein do the SS for this our model Corolla, plus the Super Wagon's cost about $1450 direct (without shipping) and Fulcrum are asking $2200 not fitted.

Any chance you know the spring rates on the Teins?

with D2's spring rates, u'll be needing kidney braces, too

[HIROLA]

Ok guys so we have answered the question of the coilovers, but what is the alternative? Are their any other shocks which are suitable for use with a lowered spring other the Koni's?

What about monroe shocks are they any good with King Low Springs?

It all depends on how you drive, if you like maximum performance I

recomened coilovers.

Depending on which ones you get most of them have alot of adjustment,

so you can adjust to suit your driving.

With 40 mm DMS you have 30 different adjustments, but as I posted earlier

they are $3000 without instalation all depends on your budget.

If I were you I'd save up for coilovers, you won't regret it!

But don't forget, you also need a good set of rubber to get maximum performance

I went down this road before, but ultimetly I decided to get get a regular spring and and adjustable shock combo, with front and rear sway bars and front strut brace. I imagine it wont handle as good as a set of coilovers, but i'm sure its not that far off especially for street driving.

Basically the only advantage that I saw was the fact you could adjust the ride height, which I probably would leave at the same ride at maybe 35mm low.

But you never know, maybe coilovers will suit you. I mean I was told not to get 18's cuz of ride quality, but I still got 18 inch wheels with 35 profile rubber and I think its a pretty comfy ride.

Are you talking about Koni Adjustables shocks? Or are you using something else?

He means u'll feel every bump in the road and some more....the car will be very stiff and bumpy on the street but probably perfect for the track where the road is perfectly smooth....

If you've driven on real bad quality road where ur car bumps up and down..d2 will feel like that on normal roads and probably worse...

they come in very high spring rates. they even have a "track" rate u can specify. if i'm not mistaken, it's like more than 10kg/mm for the fronts.

[stockvvti]
