Tein Super Strut Coilovers: My Celica Suspension Upgrade
Upgrading my Celica’s suspension has been on my mind for a while. After months of planning and waiting, I finally installed the Tein Super Strut Coilovers, and the difference is incredible. These coilovers are designed for performance, offering better handling and ride quality. If you’re looking to enhance your car’s suspension, here’s why the Tein Super Strut Coilovers are a fantastic choice.
Why Choose Tein Super Strut Coilovers?
Tein Super Strut Coilovers are perfect for those who want a balance between comfort and performance. The coilovers are designed to offer enhanced handling on both the street and the track. They feature 16 levels of damping force adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension to suit different driving conditions. Whether you’re cruising around the city or tackling tight corners on a race track, these coilovers can handle it all.
The unique Super Strut design is a key feature. It improves wheel alignment control and reduces camber angle. As a result, the car’s handling feels sharper and more responsive, especially when cornering at higher speeds.
Installation of the Coilovers
The installation process for the Tein Super Strut Coilovers was pretty straightforward. We started by removing the old suspension components and installing the new coilovers. The only tricky part was setting up the EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller), which required some wiring. Although the wiring was a bit challenging, we managed to tuck the controller neatly inside the car’s cabin.
I set the coilovers to provide a 2-inch gap between the wheel arch and the wheel. Personally, I prefer a slightly higher stance for better clearance on local roads and ramps, which aren’t very friendly to lowered cars. However, this setup works well for now.
Improvements to Handling and Ride Quality
After installing the Tein Super Strut Coilovers, I immediately noticed improvements in both handling and ride quality. The car feels more planted, and I have more control when cornering. The 16-level damping adjustment gives me the flexibility to adjust the suspension based on my driving needs. Whether I’m cruising down the highway or tackling sharp turns, the car feels much more responsive.
The ride quality is also noticeably better. The coilovers absorb bumps and imperfections on the road better than the stock suspension. While the ride is still firm, it’s more comfortable, making daily driving much more enjoyable.
Final Thoughts on Tein Super Strut Coilovers
Overall, upgrading to Tein Super Strut Coilovers has been a fantastic decision. They’ve improved my Celica’s handling, ride quality, and overall driving experience. The installation was easy enough, and the benefits were immediate. If you’re looking to upgrade your suspension and get better performance without sacrificing comfort, the Tein Super Strut Coilovers are an excellent choice.
