I was going to put "or other", but kind of wanted to know what you would pick out of the above list. TRD, do you get TRD lowering springs also? How much and where would you get them? Can you also get shortend TRD shocks?

yes king coilover springs are completly different from their lowering springs. different material, different manufactoring process.

Me too, I wouldn't let those springs go near the MR2

but might pickup a set of those nasties for the S13.

yeah I concur...Cobra are fine for Japanese cars, they're not such a ridiculous rate as the King low's. Only downside is they dont really drop it all that much, especially when your old springs are 20+ years old and have sagged as it is.

well im assuming its for your ae92?

TRD dont do ae92's any more

the rest on your list arent that great to be honest, but for an AE92 you may have to just take what you can

cobra = repco = $360ish for a set - not sure on these havent used them personally
king = 500ish for a set? - crap IMO
jamex = 320 delivered from trademe - crap IMO
dobi - got some in the rear of my ae92 and they are ok
had some lovells in my integra and they were mint

ive got a set of vogtlands i am going to try in my ae92, but may sell soonish if i decide to change the suspension setup

have a hunt for something like tein?
ive got them in my caldina and as miss burn mentioned we just got some for her 101 (just arrived this morning actually)


depends what you want out of the car, how much you want to spend, what you want it to look like, what kinda use you are going to use it for, and how many fatties youre going to load into it

answer some of that and you may get a better (more helpful) answer
