QUOTE (JoshuaM @ Aug 25, 2014 - 7:28 AM)  Quick question.... there is a black 2 post hatch for sale about 30 min drove from me, will that fit in the back of my liftback without damage? Depending on how far away I'd just go there without the lift on and bolt in on there after buying it. Then you don't have to worry about it.

QUOTE (The_enD @ Aug 25, 2014 - 12:11 PM) Won't it be cheaper plugging the holes instead of buying a new hatch and having it painted? If you don't really care you can temporary put a round pieces of sticker and match the paint to yours, then put the TRD. Have you actually removed your spoiler and dry fit the TRD, see how it looks? Or you need time to decide, can't just from a glance? I am about to try a vinyl wrap anyway, so it is cheaper to get the new hatch and just wrap it instead. The TRD spoiler has the bolts molded into the hatch so it won't test fit properly since the bolt spacings don't line up.

Haha, not here.... would be pulled over within 10 minutes And the area where the hatch is also happens to be reachable via a long mountain run going around the city

Last night, my car wouldn't turn over, did some quick deductive reasoning and figured out my starter had died. So I went out got a new starter and replaced it within 90 mins.

Today I sprayed my GT4 WRC wing. Waiting a few days for the riser blocks to dry, so they can be polished and then it's fitment time.

I know coils would be better but my celi really needs suspension. It would be awhile before I could afford to buy some, and awhile before I can get my civic to be a safe dd.

I'm pretty sure they're the originals so it's bad. I don't think it's horribly dangerous or anything but they really need to be done. I probably could get by for some more time though. The EZ streets look good and aren't too expensive. I've also been considering the megan streets too. -------------------- JDM Part King

Tein only offers height adjustable coil-overs for the Celica, and they're more expensive than the Megan sets which are height and dampening adjustable. The fully adjustable Tein sets cost more than what the car is worth, so I guess there's really not a market in it for them.

Aren't the fully adjustable tiens like $1500 or is that just the ride height adjustable ones? If Tien is a better quality then I wouldn't mind paying extra for them. I really don't care about my car's value. I never plan on selling it so it doesn't bother me. I'm already in it more than its worth so whats more money? -------------------- JDM Part King

One thing to consider is that Megan is trying to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. Tein has been doing nothing but suspension for 16 years longer than Megan has even been around. Just some food for thought.
