I'm a newb so my oppinion doesnt carry much weight, but I'm loving the T2's. I really bought more shock than I can handle with the 2-way adjustibility. What I can say though is that my friends who have more driving experience than I do have commented on how excellent these coil overs are, especially for the price point. Looking forward to the track come spring!

I'm so jelly of everyone in this thread gahhh

One thing I can vouch for is that the T2's are definitely streetable. I use my car mainly for 8+ hour canyon runs, and even with a girl in the car I haven't received a single complaint, and when asked, they say the ride is very comfortable. No teeth jarring or anything like that. They seem very well balanced to me, and handle the occasional rough patch/bump with ease (you're not getting tossed around)

Around corners- wow, huge upgrade from stock, and the car stays much more composed when pushed, and settles almost immediately.

I'm running the 600 springs if I remember correctly~which ever ones come stock.

Can't wait to switch it back to a square setup!

Mounted my T2s today. Need to get the rest of the suspension work done and an alignment before I can drive the car.

Not sure you need to align it before driving it ... pulling the front wheels for max camber and lowering the car about an inch left me with about -1.5 camber all around before I got it fully aligned ... i know each car is different but I can't imagine your alignment being so out of whack that you couldn't drive the car ...

At least that is my experience with the T2s

It appears he had more suspension work to do aside from just the coilover install.

We have winter. It's called our track season. I have to drive up north for summer track days

Gopherboy6956 · 01-16-2014, 02:48 PM

haha. I suppose I only have to worry about heat soak 5 days a year.

But then again - you guys don't get to do this:

Thanks! See you Friday or Saturday.

Only got -2.0* of camber up front, boo.... either going to go back and REALLY push the top in and pull the bottom out, or just go with camber plates next.

Good review!

Unless you specified higher rate springs and paid more when ordering, you have 400lb/in.
