Trd lowering spring Vs Tein SS coil, For performance which is the King?? Options

[celica95-95]

Hey ... I hear a lot of great reviews with TRD equipment , does it match up with Tein ss coil overs

TRD lowering spring with a bilsten strut or KYB would match up performance too a Tein SS ??

My understanding is that full coilovers are supposed to be better than springs. If you're comparing TEIN springs to Eibach (TRD) springs, spring-to-spring they're comparable in quality, their differences are a matter of what you're trying to get out of them. IIRC TEINs are a little stiffer and lower than Eibach/TRDs, but a quick search on this site can confirm that.

But if you're comparing TEIN coilovers vs springs, there are other coilovers to consider as well if you're going to go that route. Search the site for various opinions and experience with them, quite a few people on here have them.

coilovers are better than a lowering spring. coilovers serve form and function. springs mainly serve form. with a spring you will have a lower ride height... with coilovers you will have a lower ride height as well as dampening controls. tein are supposed to be the best. there are plenty of good brands though.
