QUOTE QUOTE is your car lowered? its seems to be lower then stock USA celica's.... With the SSII and the superstrut, close ratio box, TRD quickshift, and the fact she is lowered I have very little planned, I like the original wheels and the roads here are poor enough so don't want to go to 17s or anything, also not a major fan of bodykits, think she will stay the way she is, sorry for being a bore but if it aint broke............... -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Gave her a right good cleaning today, few pics, also close ups of the wheels to show how close they are to arches as someone was asking was she lowered, hard to tell difference between tyre and arch because she is black so you will have to look closely, put in an interioe pic too, no leathers, tut tut !
     Don't know how much the springs actually lower her, or what make they are, they are blue anyway... |

How's it going boy, yeah she looks well after the clean, think she was a bargain, don't know how much she is lowered as I bought her like that, imagine it's more than 30mm. Being honest I think that it is too low, have to practically stop before a speedbump. If your driving on rural country roads I wouldn't recommend lowering it more than 30mm. |

I suggest you have a look at the how to guide on instaling a TRD Quickshift, parhaps after looking at my pictures and than comparing to the pictures in the how to guide you will be enlightened
