Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Got my christmas present today... TRD Coilovers!

They were waiting for me at my front door when I got home today. Very nice! The only thing is there are no instruction included?!?! I emailed the shop I ordered them from to try to get them to send me a copy. I was wondering if anyone on here knows where there might be instructions online for them. Will I need a spring compresser for them, or will they just bolt right in?

you dont need a spring compressor... install is cake

make sure you have a good socket set and a breaker bar.

it depends are the springs already mounted on the struts? they prolly are so just take off your old springs/struts and replace.

nice -

... hope you got them for a good price - because there is one place that I know of selling them for around $600

wow 600

what!? $600 seems impossible. TRD won't sell any part at a resonable price, even though its just a re-badged cheaper aftermarket product.

Got them for $695, shipped. That's dealer cost.

TRD makes coilovers??? since when? you mean springs and shocks, right???

are TRD coilovers better than the others?

no they make coilovers now

post some pics up after you have them installed

nice

really? for celica???

Please post a link to where these can be purchased.

Ok, so everytime I try to post the links, it tells me "All required fields not filled in"?!?! What the hell. There isn't a thing blank. I'll try again

Type this in for your search on Ebay and you'll find them:

If you're still having trouble with the install, email the shop who has my TRD coilovers still in the box waiting to be installed. The shop owner is Brent Davison www.bdaudiocreations.com [bdaudiocreations.com] he will help you out if you still need it.
Can't wait to hear how those things handle. Be sure to come back and let us know.

are they adjustable dampening wise? or just height?

Just height.

I just got my instructions in the mail today. A spring compressor IS needed in order to reuse a couple support pieces at each corner. I did a cost analysis to see what it would cost to purchase an entire new set of each piece I would need (so I could have two complete suspension setups ready to be bolted in). It would cost roughly $262.58 to get all the 12 parts required. In other words, that's not a cost feasible route. Looks like I'll be renting a compressor.

goodluck. do it yourself is always the way to go atleast its awlays the cheapest way
