• Do You Have to change the struts when lowering?
• What is a good drop?
• What type of springs? (Maxspeed?)
• What kind of struts (if needed) should I get? (TOKICO HP STRUTS?)

THANX FOR YOUR ADVICE IN ADVANCE!

 

No
2 inches, check my site
SPRINT (SOUTHWESTAUTOWORKS.COM)

 

i thought you would know the answer to that with all the posting you do here.

personally i just got H&R springs with the GR2s since i did not want the slammed looked. everybody says to get the shocks and springs at the same time so i wouldnt just get springs. everything else is going to be a personal preference. i should have them installed within the next month. wish i could tell you how they feel.

 

No, but it is highly recommended
2 inches
Sprints are comfy (IMHO)
Tokicos are real nice (IMHO)

 

What do you have and what drop do you get?

 

I got Teins lowering springs a couple weeks ago (2.2 front, 1.6 back) and a couple minutes ago i ordered KYB GR-2 struts... most people has GR-2 with their
teins... thats why i got GR-2!!! I think Teins and Sprints are the best out there... i mean nice drop!!

Maximapolak the chinese dude from CT meet has maxspeed and he doesnt like it (the drop its near to stock)... he wants to get Teins springs!!!

I gave you the site from an .org member that he got tein with gr-2... awsome drop right?

 

Yup thanx. Now i need some more money to buy them.

 

Why is it high;y recommended?
I can keep the Stock struts, and install new springs?
If i can I can always change the struts later.

 

depends the drop... if you go more than 2 inches its recomended to get struts too... i got my tein $150 shipped only from AltiMax... so i saved a lot of money im lucky bast*rd

 

I have both products i spoke of. You will wear out your stock struts mach faster and have a harsher ride because the stock struts arent designed for the spring rates of lowering springs. I tried it and it didnt last long so i went to the Tokicos and lived happily ever after.

 

I have ground control coilovers on tokico struts. I am pretty damn low, but i want to go lower. Full coilovers on the way..hehe

 

No,but you'll wear out your stock struts much faster.
1.5 so you don't really need an alignment.(IMHO)
I got H&R(better than stock ride,soon to be change to Eibach for a firmer).
I got GR2,but Tokico are as good.(IMHO)

 

They make GR2s for the 5th gen right???

 

yes man... i just ordered them yesterday!!

 

Yes they do. i have them on mine.

how is the ride?

 

I'm riding on H&R springs. The ride is excellent. This combo gives me a good balance of handling and comfort. I find it smoother than the stock SE over expansion strips and bumps.

 

Yeah for 2k-2k1,it'll work on 2k2-2k3,but you'll have to zip tie one of the ABS sensor's gourmet to the front strut,you'll see it when you install it.

 

I Just Ordered Tein Stechs, And Am Going To Order Gr-2's

 

You NEED alignment for sure. The toe setting will definitely change whenever you unbolt the knucles from the struts.

 

Definitely get an alignment
