[Mk2] [Turbo] new suspension needed

[hamstermr2]

hi all, just had mot done and has failed on shocks and springs all round, this has spurred me on to buy coilovers at last, was looking at d2 ones on ebay at £425, are they any good and would i need new droplinks. also would i need anything else.it a rev 2 turbo by the way, cheers

[hamstermr2]

anyone, need advice before i buy, and quite urgent

[MR!! wren]

i'd get a set of tein superstreets, obviously a lot more, but well worth the money. i almost went for the d2 ones on ebay, until i did a lot of reading up and decided to fork out the extra, the d2's are apparently supposed to be quite harsh, but this is not from my own experience mind

If you're on about the D2's from New Zealand on ebay for £425 + £60 p+p

Don't forget you'll have import tax on top of that ..!!!

Hi Phil,

D2 are a nice unit and are super efficient at getting the shocks to you BUT a celica GT4 customer of mine brought some and the fronts didnt fit - coming from NZ it has been hard to find a solution, eventually we had to modify the front struts to house the shocks only to find the front spring rates were far to soft, another balls up.

Im not saying this will be the case if you order it but just bare it in mind. They are of fantastic quality and are well worth the money - providing they fit!

If i can help out at all please get it touch.

Regards,

Nathan

cheers nathan, could you suggest any other good coilover kits, what about droplinks, are different ones needed, cheers mate

seriously dude order the tein super street, best thing ull ever buy cum with everything needed no messing about bodging things, perfect fit first time, onli take a couple of hours to fit £600 all in without the topmounts tho

[hamstermr2]

are topmounts needed , what exactly do they do. i am getting drawn to tiens.

[MR2EMO]

new top mounts arnt essential as u can use ur origanl ones as lng as there in good nick but u can replace with pillowball at a later date if u fancy it like im goin 2 i jus didnt hav the extra £220 at the time. or u can get trd ones witch are good but not alot cheaper. up 2 u but if uve got the extra muni to get the top mounts get them if not dnt simple as

cheers

Either tein or D2 will be great.

NB - D2 come with pillow ball top mounts. If it were me, i'd go D2.

[MR2EMO]

d2's do cum with droplinks, i would have purchased d2's bt i hav read sum poor reviews on them ill try n find them n post up 4 u. ie droplinks not the rite length n nocking when steering dnt no wat that would realli have 2 do with the coillys tho.

As has been said above, Tein Superstreets all the way.
Ive been running on a set now for about 9 months (had new pillowball uppers with mine too). Hands down one of the best modifications Ive had done.
Massive handling improvement.
