TEIN vs. TRD

Postby big-ben-007 » Thu Aug 30, 2007 3:19 pm

Hi there im looking at getting my 91' AE101 Toyota Levin GTZ lowered, I've got prices for TRD and TEIN lowering springs ($535 and sub $400 respectively).

I've only quoted these 2 brands as I've seen people on here people with mixed result from Cobra, Kings and Jamex

If anyone has got these brand springs in their car could I please have some feedback on how they are after a period of time and how much the lower the car is at the front and back, and genrally what people think is the preffered choice

Cheers

TRD ones are quite close to the TEIN softs. with the TRD rears being a little stiffer.

my personal preference for a daily driven ae101 would be the soft ones.
