Where is the "factory standard" option? I think they are the best quality ones in terms of manufacture.

springs

Postby TOYROTA » Wed Nov 29, 2006 4:10 pm

if we are talking bout springs that arent on the list i would go for BILSTEIN as they are the best handleing springs i have ever driven on.
however i can get jamex springs for $260 per set incl gst
and i get tein, nuspeed and volgtland springs for bout $360 per set incl gst

it helps when a few of your good mates own jamex and spring technique.

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
Hey mate, I actually got springs just before I started this poll as I wanted to know what others thought. I got Dobi Sports on Monday and it sits very nicely and handles well with no body roll and holds its ground. Will be better once I have some 17's with wider and better quality tyres too. I don't see much point in buying full on springs and shocks unless your building a track car, its just not comfortable. I used to have very good suspension in my Primera TE but it drove very hard and not so nice on the street.

Basically was for looks and a little less roll on the corners, bit more traction with less weight being taken off the front tyres too. 8)
