My car bounces down the road like an old box chevy. It feels like i have no stiffness at all to my ride. I checked it out i'm guessing i have to replace all my struts or whatever. When i push the sport botton only my driver rear shock strut or whatever its called hardens up the rest are still like rubber. Should i replace with stock? I noticed supra store had the set of 4 tokico struts and eibach springs for 870 i think. I haven't delt with suspension before is that a good deal? I mean i won't be gettin it soon i gotta get my money in order first so i was just wandering.

I would not recommend the Eibach's. Save for coil-over's. In the meantime get some bilstein shocks and anything but eibach springs. Just do some research on the different spring setups and find what you like best.

Gotcha are the bilstein shocks compatible with the TEMS in the Supra.

Thats a negative. You will have to remove the actuators. Tokico's are the only ones that work.

Oh ok is the TEMS system good to have though? i mean i don't plan on racing this car this is my everyday driver. And I occasionally play with it. Gotta try and put all those people that think there v6 mustang is fast.

Speaking of what the hell does TEMS stand for or what is it it feels like air ride?

toyota electronic managed suspension

So is it not good or something why get rid of it?

Not tryin to be an ass but you gotta use some punctuation.

Now that thats out of the way, There's nothing wrong with the factory system. But how many people actually drive with it in normal mode anyway.

Well, seeing mine doesn't work, I do. I personally don't know what sport mode even feels like. It's cool about the punctuation. I'll work on it. By the way, you don't have to capitalize the T in there's after a comma. Only letter you do that for is an I.

Most people get rid of the factory system and install tighter coil-overs in order to drift (which i think is an awsome way to destroy your car but thats your bag of chips not mine). They are also pretty practical on the dragway or any type of track racing for that matter.

Ok, but how much do a set of coilovers cost anyways. Keep in mind that I'm 19, and work for Buffalo Rock at 8.50 an hour.

And honestly I'm not driftin hell no. Racing nope. Ok maybe the occasion f with someone next to me on the street. But besides that i'm just want to keep the car up and running and do a little extra here and there. At least till I get into the army then I can probably spend more money. But for now I need something cheaper. I think the cheapest set of coilovers I saw were by Buddy Club for 997 i think. Supra store sells either the 4 tokico's or 4 koni's plus 1.5 half inch lowering springs plus a front and rear strut bar for 870$. I mean I'm not going all out on this car. So i was wandering to a poor person would that be a good deal or not?

Bilstein's + H&R Springs.

I will only repeat this once...EIBACHS ARE BAD.

If you don't have mad funds, you don't need coil-overs.

I like that someone not telling me to get coilovers i know they might be all mighty and good. But i really appreciate that i looked at the struts and springs and i think i could afford them

Coilovers are great but new shocks/springs will still see an AMAZING difference. Do what you can afford...
