im only after a way to lower my car and have had bad experiences with springs in the past with my other cars(never getting the height i actually want). so i will never be on the track, and i dont drift or any of that, purely a street car.
i do have 20" wheels and plan to lower it a bit, but not a crazy amount. can anyone forsee any problems with that or have any advice before i lower it or get the guards rolled?

just remember you allways get what you pay for.
I have not heard good stories with cheaper brand of coil overs. better spend money on something like Tein hks buddy club or cusco these are the quality ones.

ISC chinese, G4 chinese, HSD korean etc Tein JApenese Tein start at 1440+gst But i can get discount for the soarer club Tein super street with top plates are 1695+ Or tein FLEX about $1900 without tops.
The top plate do nothing in any double wish bone car. But they will make the cops go defecting for shiny parts as they like to do. Any way, Teins have a 2 year warranty or 40000kms. rebuildable in aus. and a much better product. Dave - car torque products

howdy, tein only do eitther of their flex for the supra, not soarer. for the soarer they do super drift, super street, and for the lexus they do comfort sport.
I bought my flex minus the top hats, because they do nothing(for supra they come in 14,8 only, but they say it will take up to 16,10kg). They would cost roughly $1900 landed because they are an ex japan part. they still have warranty through fulcrum too, But with tops its about $500 more super drifts are 16,10kg but are $3000ish.
They are both base height, the differneces being, the super drifts are shorter stroke, valved higher, and can be lowered more than flex or type flex.
Any teins ex japan may take upto 12 weeks depending on where their order cycle is at

i have also heard stories of people putting "preload" on their g4 coilovers and then 3 months later finding that their springs have actually sagged so much, they are no longer captive. the springs would definatley be hot wound, like king/formula, whiteline, aurora etc tein, eibach and the better "cst" whiteline springs are cold wound to stop sag and uneven spring rates from the manufacturer
