Just bought another 240 and I can't stand the stock 4x4 stance, but don't really want to dump $800-900 on coilovers just yet.

These springs look like Tein knockoffs with a slightly lower drop...anyone know if they're any good?

Apparently they're made by Tom Motorsports...

haha...so much for that fleeting thought that there might actually be something good on ebay!

Trust me, I know how the worth of some good coilovers... I have Tein Flex on my other 240 and absolutely love them.

i would say get the cheapest of the cheapest and say sorry to ur butt.

then save up for some megan coilovers? any thing that has adjustments

just research ur coilovers.

lower springs and coilovers sleeve are good for the first 6 months and ull get sick of them...

just heat ur springs or chop them up. if u want go to lower. and save up for some used coilovers that cost mayb what 500?

I've always heard really bad things about chopping springs, so I'll just have to avoid looking at the wheel gap for a while haha

Been looking around for some used coils but haven't found anything yet, hopefully something will pop up.

Do not cut your springs. Obviously you have some common sense to know not to cut out coils on your spring. it will make your ride bouncy and harsh. Keep patience and wait for the good suspension.

Just save up and get some stance or kts coilovers, and some nice adjustable suspension. Save up 2000 dollars and then decide on the good stuff.
