Dobi Springs (any good or rubbish?)

Postby Sav » Wed May 04, 2005 7:35 pm

as the title says..

Wanting to know what quality Dobi springs are?
planning on getting a cheaper set from someone to lower the SS celica

Cheers for any help given.

Also when lowering a super strut car does it need special springs? or can any do?

in my experience so far, they are very good springs, personally I would use them over king springs or jamex.

Quite a few race cars use them, club cars, etc.

I have dobi lowering springs in my ae92. And I am very pleased with them. Had a drive in an ae82 with king springs and I cant say I was impressed with that!

Trd would obviously be better, hopefully they are at a good price.
Good luck.
