Thanks everyone! I would say the ride is not as stiff as Espelir springs but then again the spring rates aren't linear so that's probably why. They're not as soft as the Tanabe springs I had before.

Thanks Hil! You don't need more pics, you just need to install yours

When I was putting them together, I tried the springs on the stock shocks and they don't seat correctly on the perch. They seated on the shock's tube instead. I'll try to get a pic this weekend to show what I mean. Hopefully this helps with your install.

As for more pictures, I'll try to take some this weekend or someone else probably will at the meet that's happening this coming Sunday. My car is dirty anyways haha. I'll leave you guys with these:


Before with Tanabe springs:

Hahahaha what are the odds...

I had the same exact spring/shock/wheel(similar) set up not too long ago. And those Falken springs are actually pretty good too.

I never said I would sell them. I just said I'd want a nur spec to change things up.

I got them about a month ago, but they haven't been installed yet. It'll be on before the president's day meet though.

Like the spring was to small at the base to reach the bottom perch it hit the tube first?

i actually had all the center caps but i took them off (donated them to the garbage) because the wheels look cleaner without them .

I regretted it later because if i tried to sell the wheels having the center caps would have been handy.

Yeah, the springs' coils get smaller in diameter causing it to sit on the tube instead of reaching the perch. That's what probably causes the SC's to be higher in the rear when you pair up Supra springs on SC shocks.

haha, I had the same thought. I'll put them back on eventually the cover up the rusty color from the hub
