TE72 suspension upgrade

Post by ulises_te72 »

I just upgraded the suspension to gts ae86 lowered springs and KYB gas shocks. BIGGGGG DIFFERENCE!!! Before my car jupped when I launched, I tough I broke diff cuz only one tirr would have traction when I have a posi diff. After installing the suspension and the new shock, I was able to do donuts like it was nothing, super smooth. Ride is not bouncy, I love it :))) :) :D

Thanks for the info. I might do this to my ride because it was bouncing too much that I added rubber inserts to the springs to raise it 1/2 inch and smooth out the ride a bit. How much were the springs supposed to lower the car? Thanks.

Do yourself a favor and trim the bump stop on the rear so your suspension dont bottom out on it, remember they are lowered spring your ride height will be lower so you need to compensate there as well. remember to do the same up front too.
