It's Christmas already.
  Actually, she's cool about my problems. The only thing she said was "think of all the shoes I could buy with that sort of money". Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to know how much. Clutch and flywheel next. Decat going on on Thursday. Suspension rebuild this weekend. I'm going to have to move insurance companies as well. We continue. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |

You should get the TRD Shock set as well.
Stock Shocks with TRD Springs would still be "too soft" for high speed driving and cornering. What clutch + flywheel are you going for?? |

What clutch + flywheel are you going for?? [right][snapback]215066[/snapback][/right] Stock shocks and TRD springs work just fine mate. The Four is pretty damn hard anyway as stock. The springs are a 25mm drop, and progressivly wound. TRD shocks are adjustable and well over 500 bucks each. And possibly too hard for road use. Great for the track, but might compromise cross country pace. Harder is not always better. An awful lot of people seem to forget that sometimes. There's a lot more to making a car handle than no ride hight and rock hard shocks. This post has been edited by Mr_E: Dec 1, 2004 - 6:46 AM -------------------- JDM ST205

[right][snapback]215166[/snapback][/right] I am actually using the TRD Shocks + Spring Set. They are everyday drivable. I have also use Stock + TRD Spring before.... honestly the stiffness is not that much different(no rock hard feeling), but the grip is whoaaaa.... My car really stick to the road. There are 2 TRD shock models for our GT-4. There is one for Street Use and the other for Racing. My friend uses the Racing Spec TRD Shocks.... and YES!!!! It is exactly like you've said. My friend had a hard time driving his celica everyday... Cheers.... |
