Welp. I have a set of eibach z4 lowering springs and some set of silencers. I haven’t decided whether I want to install them or not, since my past experience with cars, every time I installed aftermarket parts, I always end up with some mysterious suspension noise. Anyone install springs and NOT get weird sounds?

No regrets.... cause if i did, i would've installed my stock ones back on again lol.


every car will have it's flaw the moment you modify it. Shieeet even stock cars have flaws, just accept it and move on.

~ Not one issue here with the euro eibach Z4 springs. Just a majorly improved look and handling.

If you’re even worried about more noises, don’t do it. You’ll probably be fine but… the more stuff you add the more noise and things you’ll have to tinker with

I’ve thought about getting another Supra and keeping it totally stock for the wife. Well… maybe sway bars and better tires. But that’d be it.

Would probably just go straight to coilovers if I knew what I wanted. But no regrets running height adjustable springs in the interim. No noises or anything out of the ordinary.

I hear ya, man. But I love the magnetic dampening so much…that’s a feature I definitely don’t want to lose

I have the Z4 springs as well and have had zero noises from the suspension and I've had them installed for close to a year now. The look and handling are well worth it imo.

I did run into one issue when putting the rears back together though. The rear driver-side lower control arm swivel hole DID NOT want to line up for me and I ended up stripping the bolt and had to source another from harbor freight to temporarily get the car back together while I waited on the OEM replacements to ship from Toyota. Other than this issue, the entire process from start to finish was super easy!

I did this 1st and that’s what made me want to buy another for just myself. 🤣
