There's plenty of Tein S-tech springs on ebay for about 130 shipped -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

QUOTE is it really wise to go with lowering springs on stock struts?? answer: if your stocks are fine then your good, if they are worn then replace them.... QUOTE and say you needed to raise your car back up for winter answer: springs arn't for you look into coilovers QUOTE are you better off with those TRD springs? answer: no better off then any other spring except you'll probably pay more..... |

ive tried many suspension setups. First was eibach sportline, which did the job on the stock shocks and gr-2s after, but didnt achieve the lowering height i wanted. I switched to tein s-tech when they first came out and the drop was 1.2 which was crap when i put on my stock tires. It was a bit stiff on the gr-2's. After a while i switched to JIC SA's which sagged on me, but gave me a noticeable difference in ride height. The ride quality came very close to stock quality. in the end, i am currently using the gc setup with the gr-2's which with bushings, did improve my ride more than ever. Its smooth, yet u can still tell taht your in a toyota and not a mercedes. If anyone has any further questions, feel free to PM me. BTW im looking for someone to trade my ground controls for intrax sports. PM if interested. Thanks

I dunno about coil overs. I heard bad things about em because most people dont use proper set-ups and they just use the coil overs. I think im gonna go with intrax springs and go for as close to 2 in as possible. I can always heat em up to compress em if i wana go lower. Prolly go with kyb shocks
