I am looking to lower my sc HOWEVER not sure that I can handle a rough ride... Looking for a set up to keep me close to stock type ride but need to drop her some.... I am not opposed to a low (espillir 2") type drop but have been told the ride is very firm.... Not really the racing type but wouldn't mind better control... The stock ride height bothers me more than the handling aspect

Any advice for an old timer? lmao
Tanabe?
Eibach?
Espelir w/stock struts?
Etc?

 

It depends on what you feel is too rough. I have changed the LCAs and UCAs with the Daizen bushings, and Tein Flex coilovers set on the middle setting. The ride is definately firm but not rough. (like my old truck)

I would recommend the Tein Flex you can adjust the height independently of the strut travel and adjust the spring rate to make it softer or harder. If you need to change your bushings, go with the valmos bushings and change only the LCA's

The Tein Flex dropped the front of my car about 1.5" and the rear about 1" and I have plenty of room for more drop.

I hope this helps

 

I was looking for a spring set up versus coilovers at this point....

 

IMHO, if espelir's are too low, your best bet would be eibach/tokico setup. IT lowers your car 1" and handling is improved. Keep in mind though... since our cars are old, your stock springs may have settled a little lower, so when installing the eibach setup, you may notice a slight change in height.

 

if ur gonna go with springs i say get supra setup. either AGX or KONIs. konis is adjustabe height and damper... ( but u have to remove the whole setup to change height). stock supra TT shocks and springs will lower around .7"

 

AC...I was thinking the espelirs because of the drop but was more concerned with the ride... I plan on going to 19" rims which should help with clearance somewhat I assume...
