Product Overview
TEIN Street Advance Z Damper Kit for Toyota Starlet EP91
Transform the handling of your Toyota Starlet EP91 Turbo with the TEIN Street Advance Z Coilover Damper Kit GST90-91SA2.
The Street Advance Z range has been engineered for drivers wanting a substantial suspension upgrade without sacrificing everyday road usability. It provides adjustable ride height together with adjustable damping, allowing the suspension setup to be tailored to your preferred driving style.
Whether you’re restoring a classic EP91, building a fast-road Starlet or simply looking to improve its stance and cornering behaviour, the TEIN Street Advance Z offers a proven suspension solution from one of Japan’s best-known performance suspension manufacturers.
16-Stage Adjustable Damping
One of the major advantages of the Street Advance Z system is its 16-stage damping-force adjustment.
This allows the driver to alter the suspension characteristics from a more compliant road-biased setup through to a firmer and more responsive configuration for spirited driving.
Adjustable damping can help optimise:
- Cornering response
- Body control
- Steering feel
- Stability
- Ride quality
- Handling balance
This makes the Street Advance Z particularly suitable for modified Toyota Starlets that are used both on the road and for enthusiastic driving.
Adjustable Ride Height
The TEIN Street Advance Z allows your Starlet EP91 to be lowered beyond the standard factory ride height, creating a more aggressive stance while reducing the vehicle’s centre of gravity.
TEIN’s recommended ride-height change for this application is approximately:
Front: -55 mm
Rear: -60 mm
The broader adjustment range provides flexibility depending on wheel choice, tyre size, vehicle setup and desired appearance.
Improved Handling for the EP91 Starlet
The factory Toyota Starlet EP91 is lightweight and responsive, making it an excellent platform for performance modification.
Upgrading the standard suspension with the TEIN Street Advance Z can further improve:
- Cornering stability
- Body-roll control
- Vehicle response
- Road holding
- Driver confidence
- High-speed stability
TEIN specifically describes this application as designed to reduce body roll and improve stability while maintaining ride comfort for everyday street driving.
Spring Rates
The GST90-91SA2 kit uses performance-oriented spring rates selected for the EP91 chassis.
Front Spring Rate: 5.0 kgf/mm
Rear Spring Rate: 3.0 kgf/mm
These rates provide increased suspension control while remaining suitable for road-going applications.
