  • Too bad you aren't closer, Id have no problem helping you replace your suspension.  $900 Seems steep to replace a rear suspension, especially in a shop environment with a lift/ air tools etc... I'd de

  • Depends how bad of shape his suspension really is in I guess, not really good to put bandaids on a suspension can make for a bad accident

I was going to them before I flipped my car. Worst case, would have been 280 shipped for the rear. That's completely custom wound with variable density. Most likely would have been 200. They put a lot into their springs. A local guy used them with great results.

Thanks again... I've yet to contact them for a quote... Not looking for anything crazy in weight handling.... so I'll see what route I go...

I was on the phone with a tech guy for a good 15min. Basically, 200-1000lbs, they got you covered. I would prefer a factory style spring(linear or progressive) over add on stuff. I was quite impressed in how in depth they went. 

 

Good luck man.

Thanks... I found some stuff on rockauto but it's unclear what each model is.... It "seems" that they have a super duty coil that could potentially handle up to 1000lbs.... not sure though... I sent in a comment to them on it... 

not sure how the suspension is on the toyota, has anyone looked up a spacer for the spring by chance? maybe like a leveling kit like the lifted trucks have? if you went air suspension you wouldnt regret it. My s10 is bagged and i love it. only thing i would do different is instead of the 1/2 SMC valves id switch it all out for a accuair setup

yea.... too much initial custom work which would involve finding a mechanic to do that work, more monies..... and the up-keep although mentioned as simple might cost me troubles in the end

My vote is to replace w/ stock parts and you will notice a change. The way you are describing it to me sounds like it is just worn out. How many miles are on the car?

 

145k..... I've never replaced the suspension.....

Yeah thats a lot of miles on the original suspension

 

 

I got my car at 53k... no idea if it's ever been touched.... doubt it.....

sooo.... updates.... finally working.... 

 

 

Thinking about doing the rear struts/coils first....   Any difference between H&R and Eibach??? They are within $40 of each other so no reason to quibble about that, but are the H&R better in some aspect? The Eibachs would give me a drop of  F 1.4 / R 1.1  ... The H&R would be  F 1.4 / R 1.3  ...... OR should I just go with stock at a total of $145 ???? 

 

 

These are the Eibach: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CN9VLO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

lol even with the miss spellings

When you say drop I'm assuming you mean lower.

 

So I guess it depends on how low that will make your car and taking account you're into car audio and could potentially put a decent amount of weight into the trunk.

 

I mean after a 1" drop how much ground clearance do you have? Would you feel comfortable driving over a pothole?  Since its your daily driver I'd say go stock but that's just my opinion
