Tein Lowering Springs

I had tein htech on my cefiro with stock struts and stock
16". Loved the look but couldnt tolerate the ride. Ended up going back stock. Adjustable struts with the springs would
probably have been the way to go I guess. Your car looks good with the drop btw .

Same thing here love the look but not the ride but what I want to know is that if I go and use a full coilovers system wud the ride bouncy or because of the dampeners and all that the ride remains some what normal

i currently and always was on 17" Traklite Angle

The strut i used with both spring and the sleeve method was Truhart.

i bought the megan racing because of the cost at the time and i have no complaints to date (11 mths going)

My friend on work has a P11 on 20's and he uses coilovers. He says he doesn't get any bounce.
So am kinda confused if need to change my rim size and type..
U have megan coilovers and how does your vehicle ride

18 = TO BIG for Tiida, do some research.
My Daily is a Tiida Hatch on 17" with some nice rubber....rides smooth as hell.
If i were to lower it(on coils) i would go 16s with MORE rubber, likes so.....

So reduce to 17" and I could keep my Tein springs on and would get a better ride?

Dem 18's lookin hard. Sensible drop too. I'd shoot for a set of lightweight rims, but it's your car, not mine.
Reducing to 17" would only help if you increase sidewall height.

You never specified if you used s-tech or h-tech springs though. The h-tech is stiffer and needs a stiffer dampener (shock absorber) to control it.

Your problems are simple.
1. Wrong shock/spring combo.
2. Not nearly enough research.
3. You posted this thread in the wrong forum.

While i am on 17" my series tyres are 40 so i have some 'meat' so to speak.... the ride is not stock if dat is what u askin.... but it took a few runs well to get the damper settings.... it is as close to stock as i can get it rite now.... not bouncy and not to stiff...

Considering the light weight rims but I love my 18"s and your right I didn't do enough research, am using stock shocks
