QFT. I went from Megan coils to Tein S-Techs an Tokico HPs. Never looked back.

I recomend silk road. I plan to get those eventually. A good friend of mine has them on his 11second tercel and its just a perfect controlled ride.

made up my mind to just get springs and the strut/shocks. Just have to sell my TRD springs now. They have been really good to me but i want it lower.

I think Andy got a bad set of Megans, honestly. I haven't had that kind of feedback and we've sold a ton of them. Teins are a great street ride coilover.

As for installation difficulty, the rears are super easy (it's not a coilover back there, just a shock and a spring). The fronts, you need a couple of tools or an impact wrench to do this without trouble. You will re-use some of your stock strut parts (hat, bearing), also. So some preparation and study will make the job a LOT easier.

Do people ever combine standard type rear shocks/springs with coil over fronts? I'm happy with the ride height of my df210's, but I'd like to keep the front from leaning/bouncing at 100+ thru curves....the bounce doesn't sit well with me at speed.

get the tanabe pro coilover from garm, you'll be happy .

I had the stock + DF210 ...installed the Tanabe pro today and don't think to go back

vten, I also got the tanabe coils and love them.
I had the tein s-techs on stock shocks and I found them to be too bouncy and not low enough for my taste.
The new coils are stiff but not brutal.
