Spring recommendation - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #69578 13 posts Started by bloodsucka81
im looking at three different springs for my car and cant decide which to choose
does any one recommend any of these

megan racing spring
tein springs
skunk2 springs
I have megan springs, I like them, they are firm, but comfortable still, and offer a decent drop.

I got a good deal on them here http://www.upscaleautomotive.com/p-18214-m...ota-celica.aspx

Those springs are really cheap...can anyone provide input as to how those are versus the Teins? They're almost half the price.

I doubt anyone can give a direct comparison like that, although I am curious myself.. but to begin with not alot of people here seem to go with the megan springs.

They are really cheap, almost "so cheap its scary" laugh.gif but i have zero problems with them. anyway, cant go wrong with that price..

Exactly, that's my concern looking at the price. How long have you been running them? If they're good enough, I'll pick these up when it comes time for a drop...100 bucks in my pocket is good change.

ive had them forrrrrrrrrrr........................................... nearly 20,000 miles. installed at 251k, currently, 270,5xx.

They are VERY high quality, i was skeptical at first, as anybody should be with $100 springs, but when i got them and installed them i felt much better about the purchase. Megan seems to make good stuff, i've heard nothing but good about their coilovers too.

tiens rear spring rate is a tad bit lower than stock spring rate. megan springs have the stiffest springs for our celica's

do the megan springs offer a lower drop than the tein springs?

and which one provides better handling and a better ride if i were to take it for canyon runs

I have the Tein springs and they are very nice. Gives you a nice drop and a nice sporty ride. Helps a LOT with cornering and I have no complaints. I can't compare them to Megan's because I've never felt how the Megans ride.
Tien S-Techs have been on my car for 3+ years and about 60k+ miles. They are stiffer than stock but still comfortable and with all lowering springs they will settle a little lower than what they first start out at as a year or 2 go by. I got them for $120 back in the day and I don't know how much they are now but I have no complaints.
