Ive read lots of threads on these forums about the tein lowering springs and it sounds like everyone is happy with them, Ive also read that the tein springs + kyb combination is pretty popular, but I dont exactly know what kyb products I need for this setup, can somebody help me out?

Sorry latin... thats a little wrong. Basically, shock to my knowledge is a one way absorber. A strut is a two-way thus controling the vehicle better than a shock. Shocks a still primarily used in the trucks. Next time you see one, look by the rear tire. Its a post just like the lifts on the Celica hatchback. Shocks are separate from the spring and normally beside them. A strut is combined with the spring into an assembly. Now a coilover is a spring thats adjustable. Easy on that one. Here is a nice article. http://www.cartalk.com/content/columns/Arc...ebruary/07.html Morgan |
