I currently have Tein HA coilovers that the previous owner had installed. One of the shocks died on me recently and I'm debating what course of action to take. I'm currently leaning toward sending the shocks in to Tein to have them rebuilt, but the shop isn't thrilled about having to store my car somewhere for 2-3+ weeks.

I'm also considering taking this opportunity to switch to a setup that has better ride comfort. I drive over some rather rough roads on my commute everyday, and it'd be nice if the car didn't feel like it was being shaken to bits. I don't track my Supra so I don't need something ultra stiff, but I also don't want to go back to the overly soft stock suspension.

Suggestions? I'd like to spend less than $1500.

iirc tien rebuilds shocks for like 40-60 a shock. You can also but different springs and have them valved differently.

I would just have the one shock rebuilt. Tein coilovers shouldnt have to rough of a ride especially the HA which is a softer model
