Installing Tein Flex Z coilovers on a 2nd Gen Toyota MR2

[@9Toufonglee]

You could of easily taken those 2 side panels in the back off with a couple bolts to access the coilovers bolts.

Yes you're right, i think i did it the hard way 😅

Nice ...looks simple enough.

[@edgarcholula2632]

How is the ride with the Teins. Been thinking of getting some for my mr2? Any complaints?

[@Finding_Our_Way]

@@edgarcholula2632 this was a customer vehicle, he has been happy with them. I cant remember too much on these specifically.

So what’s the measurements at front and measurements in rear ? Is rear 1 inch taller than front ?

[@Finding_Our_Way]

Hi, its been a long time since I lowered this, but I had some specs written down here in my notebook. On stock stuff, it sat with 1 and 1/8th of a inch higher in the rear than the front on the passenger side, and a bit less on the drivers side. When it was on the Tein coilovers it sat about 3/4 of a inch higher in the rear than the front.

I know it's been a while but can you recall about how long this took? Thanks!

[@Finding_Our_Way]

Ya i cant for sure. Plus it takes longer moving the camera around. I also did a bunch of other work off camera so i had this in my shop overmight i think.

[@Finding_Our_Way]

But id guess a few hours on coilovers.

[@dallasfindlay384]

I appreciate the info! I started to tackle this exact project tonight and found that my tires rub the coilovers with max camber. Time for wheels I guess 😅

[@Finding_Our_Way]

@@dallasfindlay384 i had that problem too. Ended up using wheel spacers on the front, but the wheel studs were too short to have enough thread exposed. So i changed out all the front wheel studs for longer ones. Its coming back to my mind now, i forgot about that lol.
