Lowering springs -- I'm somewhat disappointed

[Timmy_Jones]

I’m on the middle setting front and rear on my Eibach sways. Have SPL goodies & Ohlins. Feels great 🪩 (on track). Long drives, not so much.

Also when I had my Eibach springs, they settled quite a bit over time. Why I switched to Ohlins. OEM would have been fine as well. But I opened the wabbit hole a just kept going lol.

Were you on the Eibach pro kit (US) or Euro?

I’m going to throw another vote in for whiteline springs. All of the Supra guys I know in Tampa and myself all run them. Close to stock ride quality so it won’t punch you in the kidneys all day and the gap is just perfect with no rubbing.

stock launch edition rims
13mm front spacer
10mm rear spacer
275/305 combo

Thank you sir, may have sealed the deal for me on Whiteline! Looks fantastic.

Had to go in the archives to dig this pic up. But for your reference, Eibach Euros.

Yeah, shoot me a message! Best price I can see online is $228 https://lgcracing.com/products/whit...o5YzlUZ5cc0wlykIqCG2AhpQQPkYk3XZsHovBLh_iF-vk

**DO NOT BUY FROM LGC RACING** I went in to purchase the springs and as I was checking out, they randomly increased the price. Very shady business practice.

Not sure which one Speed Industry sold. Pic from the archives like Evo. Long ago.

Also Eibach Euros.

The whiteline site has 20% off everything right now, FYI

One last vote for MSS Height Adjustable. They can adjust from stock height to 35mm from stock height, front and back. Not the cheapest, but worth every dollar. Much more sportier spring rates than most that make it feel like a proper sports car, but also a slightly softer than stock ride in comfort mode due to the triple rate rear springs. They also don’t make any weird noises, no rubbing, no drama.

Since I like suspension travel, and not scraping on everything, I’ve only lowered the rear a modest 15mm, and the front only 20mm. So it could still be lowered quite a bit more if desired. For me, not desired as I am shooting for best of all worlds, daily driver, drag strip and auto-X. A little rake does this car well.

When filtering on my vehicle '2023 3.0 base model' their springs are listed as 'not compatible' so I sent them an email @whiteline

I also asked @Meraki Autoworks if they would pricematch the whiteline sale and Josh wrote me back saying he could 'make enough for a mcdonalds menu item'

19x9.5 and 19x10.5 - 275/35 and 305/35

I did not adjust the HKS - I just installed it straight out of the box

HKS adjustable springs + camber plates on stock wheels, stock tire size
HKS adjustable springs + camber plates on 18x10 wheels, 275/40/18 square setup, 5mm spacers on the front

 

[CafeRacerQueen]

Did you even bother to check that they were adjusted to the same points?
