When are you suppose to get them? I was wondering if I could check them out before you install 'em. I have been trying to decide whether to get just the eibach springs or a set of coilovers. What made you decide to get the tein set? I have a set of HKS coilovers on the supra and I'd like to get something that will give a little more comfortable ride for the IS.
Thanks,
Ron

Hey Ron,

The Tein CST is supposed to ride a lot softer and smoother than stock suspension in my car and yours I was told. I decided to go with the full kit because I'm all about quality and wouldn't settle for just some springs and shocks. I like the adjustability of this kit too, it will allow a little over 2" front and back which is perfect for me(I'll be doing 1.9"F and 1.5" R). Another thing that was nice about the CST was that it eliminates body roll pretty much all the way. I'll show ya sometime before I put them on at a meet or something. They won't be going on until the end of spring time

Thanks! I am all about quality too And it's already sounding like these are what I want. I look forward to checking them out.
