I have also heard bad reviews of those. If you want a really good coilover try these http://hrsprings.com/scripts/appguid...ta%20|%20Supra. The bottom ones on the page are what you will want. My uncle deals with this company a lot and they have a great reputation with German car owners and designers.

I am running H & R springs and I love them, didn't know they had coilovers.. tell your uncle to tell them to lower the pice and I might bite. For that price I thought they may come with the hats to correct camber..

our cars dont have camber plates at the top. if you have ever looked at the suspension of our cars you would notice that we have a double wishbone suspension. meaning that the camber/caster corrections are made with adjustments to the lower control arms. if yo have a 240 or a subaru they have mcpherson struts up front that have a camber correction at the joint of the spindle and the strut. in that case you can use camber adjustable top hats. if you can find a set of coilovers for our cars that comes with adjustible camber plates at the top i will buy you that set.

what he's basically saying is that there is no need for camber plates on our cars hence no reason for them to exist.... plus the description is really just a basic description as well, just like the picture.

bigmalik00 if you know that is a standard picture then what are you talking about? read about what? you will not find a set of coilover that are made for a supra that have camber adjustable upper mounts. if you do then its a waste and an idiotic design because it does nothing.

i looked at all the links you provided. none of them mention anything about camber adjustable upper mounts.

tein basics a piece of chit. if you want something nice for the money get Stance.

how about we switch that whole bet thing around. if u CANT find a set of supra coilovers that have camber adjustible upper mounts you buy me a set of stance. right now the price is about 1000 bucks. so start saving up

I used Hopup Racing twice. They're ok. As far as the D2s, my experience hasn't been too good. My wife had them on her Altima and there was a popping noise(like popcorn) we could not get rid of. If you're looking for coilovers go with a proven brand, such Tein, HKS, JIC or any other big name. You won't regret it.

Don't do it. I heard they tend to leak. I know one of the ES owners on the site has replace 2 of them already. I' pretty sure he's had them on less than 6 months.
