Sportline drops about 1.5 inches and Proline drops it about an inch.
I have the sportline and really like them. I've never had any kind of problems with them.

Actually, TRD springs are made from Eibach but the Eibach sports brand is little lower than TRD. I have TRD springs too and what NEVERSTOP says about not being satisfied with it....I agree. Its not as low as we expected but the handling is good. Changing the struts and shocks are even better.

Intrax is the lowest i think at 1 3/4 without going coilovers.......so cut them thats what i did still rides great and is holding up

Yupz.....Intrax are the lowest springs you can find on the market for our 6gens. Unless...If you want high quality suspensions set ups.... you can go to http://www.Japanparts.com or http://www.toysport.com and ask for Teins, Juns, or HKS coilovers that would fit on a GT4. I dunno if it would fit but just try and ask. That would be my best bet so far.

I put the Eibach Sportlines on back in the spring,and have been very happy with the ride.Although i do wish my car sat a little bit lower.

well uhh if the strokes are locked up u will have no suspension at all but i have an accumulator kit to make it ride like a caddy.......but the handling should be the same no change but i will ask them thanks coomer for the heads up

caddies ride like boats...i'd never toss one of those around in the twisties...'less it was that catera...even still...Ground Control coilovers are the way to go IMO.

I advise everyone to stay away from the dropzone coilovers. Let's just say they'll will bounce so much, your struts can explode. Mine did. I think however if you went with aftermarket shock with bound/rebound adjustment, any coilovers will work nice. I'm actually thinking bout going with the jic-magic. Yeah they're $1300, but that's the best there is.

i thought the cheapest one was 1500$ from jic

Actually, i found my drop to be perfect
the 1.5" from the Eibach sportline isn't too low, nor is it high
it got rid of that hideous wheel gap, and made driving the celi even more fun
any lower and i wouldn't have my front end anymore, because these Pennsylvania roads suck.

did u use ure dropzone with stock shock ?
how much did u lower ure car that the stut exploded ?

I had Eiback Sportlines installed just before xmas, keeping the original shocks. Already done 400 odd miles. The ride quality is a hell of lot better than I was expecting and going arond the twisty stuff is bloody amazing! My car feels like its on rails

Does anybody have pictures of a stock celica+ TRD springs? Also, How hard is it to change ride hight on CO's?

Looks stock kinda...If your going for anything lower...I suggest you get Intrax!

Please try out JIC suspension. There are very good.

Please use the adjustables for future reference in driving.

I just put on the Eibach Sportlines along with some KYB GR-2 struts last night, and I love the way that my car handles now. I couldn't really test out the handling much because it was snowing and I didn't wanna crash, but I could definitely feel a major difference in handling(almost no body roll), and a difference in ride quality. My ride quality is actually better than stock I think(I didn't have a stock setup before so it's hard to tell though. ) I'm happy with the look of the drop as well. My setup was definitely worth the $420 or so that I spent, and it's not even very hard to install.

yo coomer, post some pics. Can stock shocks handle a drop from coilovers?

Here's a couple pics:



Those pics don't really show the drop very well though, and the lighting is really really bad. The drop looks so much better in person. I'll post much better pics when I get my rims on there. My rims should be coming in early this week, and I can hardly wait!

Also, I think that stock shocks can handle a drop from coilovers if the coilovers are good and the struts aren't too old. Mynzeyes has been running his Ground Controls on stock struts for a while without problems.

Thats how low mines are right now

welp i have my TRDs now gunna put em on the week after/before spring break, during spring break my car will be in the shop getting the kit on while me and my gf are chillen out in sandiego

Nice one coomer!
This is the way I was planning.
I hopefully will have a set of KYB GR-2's shocks soon.
However, I'm contemplating on going with Intrax Lowering Springs just to be that little bit lower.
Having said that, I can get a damn good deal on a set of Eibach Sportlines - $185 shipped to France.
Oh the dilema!!
