springs for st215 caldina - who sells em??

[steve74]

hey guys, i did a bit of a search and it seems that TRD make lowering springs along with tein and all the usal brands. I want to drop my caldina a little bit so that it looses its standard "hilux" looking gaping wheel arches but not too low that the guards are scraping on the tyres. Im in my 30s and dont want the boy racer "dumped to within an inch of its life" look. I have seen these teins on trademe.

Are they good value and what im after or are there people out there that can supply me with a better option. Im just a bit scared of buying something too low.

cheers, steve

Teins seem to be the go for your car as others on here rate them.

That is a pretty decent price for a set of new springs.

Tiens FTW! ive got a set sitting under my house that you can have for $200, used for less the 10,000kms. Comes with free shocks! (theyr abit stuffed tho )

sorry to bring up old thread but has anyone brought TRD springs for the gt-t caldina, any idea of cost? im picking they are more expensive than tein?

im pretty sure i want to go 30mm, is this a modest drop?

Very happy with my TRD's.
Think they are slightly lower than Teins though, but that is on TRD struts so could be the struts lowering it a bit more not sure how the platform height compares to standard.

[Mr Revhead]

the TEINS will lower it more than TRD
TRD = around 30mm from stock TRD struts have same spring seat height as stock
TEINS = 40-43mm from stock

big mistake ppl make with the amount of lowering is failing to take into account how much stock springs will have sagged from new. so when TRD or TEIN quote X amount, thast from when the car was brand new. it is not a guarantee of that amount of lowering 100ks later

[Dell'Orto]

Not just TRD or Tein, all spring manufacturers quote that drop from the factory height. People seem to get quite disappointed when you sell them springs for a KP or KE and it only drops them 10-15mm.

Jamex. i like them ... tons dont

[AJz]

never been in one with trd's but i use the 30mm drop teins, running on standard alloys tho. 18's or something would make it look better.

+1 teins

Mr Revhead, do you know a part number or rough price for the -30 trd items? I read somewhere onn here your not in the game anymore but im hoping you can give me a heads up on the right route?
