^ are you talkin about the NEX or the adjustable springs?

The NEX are stiffer but you will be able to go lower and the car will handle better than the Teins. But Teins are softer if you're looking for that.

If you want adjustable springs, it's better to go with the Eibach Ground Controls like what the other person said.

i assume your talking about the no name coilover sleeves. you should make it more clear to which you are referring to. yes those are horrible, the nex however are fine for the price.

NEX is crap...It runs on the old valving style as I recall which is unreliable...My friend had a set on his 240..blew it within a month. I would go with at least the megans.

My cousin had them on his 2G TL a few years back and one of them also blew. Some people run them fine so I'm just assuming it's the luck of the draw?

I guess its the luck of the draw but I would prefer a product that will actually last rather than fail because of the luck of the draw and having to go through the hassle of pulling the suspension back out and so on after installing it.

Mix of drifting and daily driving plus he was pretty much slammed too. He rides on silk roads now.
