:P I know Col, this was how I scratched all the underneath of my car (at standard height) when there were 4 of us in the car at about 20 stone (ston) a pop!!! The car looked good with just me in though! Was very low! OT but do you guys with coilovers roll the arches with 18" alloys as the one I saw was very close!!!

I've spent some time in a car with TTE coilovers and I was impressed by the ride quality, nowhere near as harsh as I imagined they would be, and cornering is drastically improved - with the roll bars body roll is just about gone. The one setting damping does feel pretty good - they've gone for a good mixture of performance against ride quality - not too harsh but definitely much better than standard suspension. Haven't been in a car with the Teins on for a great distance so can't really comment on those mate. Only thing I would say is that with a drop of 50mm it is very easy to catch stuff - speed bumps are hit and miss and also caught a couple of things on the road while I was in the car!

the race car sits on TTE coilovers
-
Branded as in our own brand... "ASP"... made in the same factory, by the same people as many of the coilovers people on here swear by :winky: But, as your not paying for a name, for will be able to buy them for approx £500 per set.... ( Dependant on numbers...) fully height and stiffness adjustable..... should have the sample set here soon, as i have a willing guinea pig waiting!! :D
-
lol well done for volunteering to refit my coilovers,, you the man...
-
Remember i am doing a GB on coilovers very son.... just awaiting the trial set now...
-
wondering what coilovers are there that allow a decent drop and adjustable dampning but without the pillow balls.. and for a fair price
-
although in pillow ball mounts defence,, they are supposed to perform better,, but maybe for the liek of you and me, we aint gona notice the difference.. perhaps a group buy on TTE coilovers..
-
Agreed Baz but by having the settings for your car will give you something to compare to,especially if it needs fine tuning rather than STD settings. Maybe if you share your settings i will compare them to the ones that Tony sent me as were both on 18's and coilovers. :)

Treat yourself to coilovers mate.

As we all know this has been a very intresting site...well for me anyway :D i have been speaking to Tony via e-mails about the problems that the IS can throw up concerning complete suspension set-up especially as i have recently gone to 225/35/18 on coilovers. Tony is a bit under the weather at the mo and has asked me to inform the members of LOC that whilst he doesn't mind answering questions on the correct figures for the IS he would rather you do it directly to him through his web page Here... as he cant devote most of his time on here as he has the web site to run. Hes not going away :o as he will pop in/out from time to time if people have issues. :D :D P.S....all you need to tell him is what car/year and wether your on STD springs/coilovers/-drop with bigger wheels/tyres.

Thanks Nigel, the car also comes with a set of less traumatising 19" rims so at least I have an option if the cries of "PIMP" from the pavements become too much :D I am sure I will enjoy the GS its exactly what I am after at this point in time. I can highly recomend the Aristo Vertex as I have had both the pleasure of driving and racing against Yoshis, with basically the Supra TT powerplant tuning options are endless and rewarding, even without tuning its still a very capable car to drive. Yoshi is right though, suspension is certainly its downfall with the ride being tailored for comfort, I see Tein have released the "Flexi" series of dampers for the car though. Having had experiance of Jap coilovers in the past I found them far to stiff and over valved for British roads. I am pleased to say that the "Flex" range however doesnt fall into this catagory, we have fitted it to a few cars now and can highly recomend it. -
I have'nt got a prob yet,and i dont want one!! but i'm about to put my new 18's on this week,tyres are 225/35/18 lowered on coilovers,How many miles should i do before i have to have the camber checked/adjusted.........for piece of mind more than anything.
-
Not exactly. All fits like was asked, but the IS300 has different front springs. The same way the Sportcross models have different rear springs. So with the coilovers you may want to IS300 specific ones to handle the extra weight. Cheers, RX-Men-8
-
hmmm if they are the same, i assume that the coilovers can handle the extra weight of the 3L lump..
-
When you enter/exit a corner the chassis will flex so this will eliminate this and make a difference in handling,couple this mod with stiffer ant-roll bars/coilovers/lower ride height and it will transform the handling of the IS.
-
H&R's -35mm drop,gives the Sport a low mean look thats what i had on mine before i got coilovers.
-
Eibach springs (30mm drop) are pretty popular in the club as a cheaper lowering option than coilovers. Can get them from TDI - see link at top of page. Got mine fitted by a local garage for about £150. You should get tracking done about 500 miles after fitting.
-
AltezzaScott is supposed to be getting some coilovers cheap...drop him a PM
-
black colour is great, but needs to be clean, thats why im so thankful that meguires exists. got some detailer clay yesterday and lots more detailer spray and cloths! As for rome falling down, well its only coz they rushed it! i waited this long to start touching my car! a few more months wont harm! lol Have had the japsai springs on for about 6months, but the drop was only 25mm. am considerin some coilovers or a set of the eibachs

I have a Toyota Altezza that has been having some bad vibrations that can be felt through the seat at 70+ mph and also when the accelerator pedal is at a certain position (regardless of gear) I’m curious as to what this could be, as (I believe) it happened after I replaced the aftermarket exhaust with it’s original cat back exhaust. My thoughts are that it maybe geometry, balacning or tracking, or would the exhaust have any effect? As it feels a lot more 'choked' now with the standard exhaust. What would be the best plan of attack? I was thinking check wheel balancing, and then 4 wheel alignment if still present? As it's an import and has GAB coilovers would I still be looking to achieve the 'stock' alignment settings? hate it when your 'baby' doesnt feel right ;)

then the supercharger then the 18" wheels then the coilovers then the ...............ooh i could go on forever
-
Fitted the HKS super dragger today.must say the sound is a lot deeper than i remember when fitted onthe 200. also replaced some bolts in thengine bay with red ones, gota order some more. fitted the HKS rad car. but damn HKS oil cap doesnt fit as the OEm one is of the same design as the rad cap and not a screw type. blued up the ignistion barrel,, gona do the cluster over the w/e. waiting for the apexi coilovers to be delivered. and i think thats about it......for now,,, cept for a errr turbo or s/c (not tte)
-
damn you, i convinced myself i didnt need to buy these! no fair no fair! *** they look good. realy want some. so many things so little time! its defintaly high on the wanted list now dave! Will be interesting to see how the power works with the chassis. also remembering that your running coilovers and that the dynamics of the braking on a standard setup would be a little different. but still, uber cool!

Pete, Mine are 19x 8.5 The ride is fantastic but the wheels are very heavy and I think it affects the performance a little. Saying that, if you go for the 7.5 width they should be lighter than mine. When I first fitted mine the car was lowered on -40 springs and the arches weren't rolled. It did't catch even with 4 adults in. However, I then lowered it 4.5 inches on coilovers, so i had to do a little grinding
