New Suspension

well after alot of different setups....i'm happy ..i know its not dropped and all the 4x4 **** but damn the roads suck so much ***** ...it just got old...hitting a pot holes ,felt like i took my car off a 20 foot jump

ssc springs( loved the drop but sagged after awhile)

ksports coilovers ( not bad but just wasnt for me with the roads around here )

and h&r springs...probly the worst springs...rides horrible, coil binding, killed my endlinks and cv joints..

now stock tc springs and struts...rides great handles better then the h&r springs and so comfy

broken cv


h&r drop



tc setup

How would you rate Sportlines in your experiences with different set ups? I'm looking into them for my TC.

I went from TenzoR's to SS/TC's, the SS/TC's are perfect, streetable yet fun on curves.

Damn. So should I stick with my stock suspension? I wanted a bit of a lower ride with superior handling to the tc.

^^^yes sir and the improve handling and give you a decent drop. the only other springs worthwhile on the ss/tc are the eibach prokit. they still dont make the car handle AS good as pedders and only drop the rear life .5" yuor car wont even look dropped.
