Never seen anyone use megan springs, but with that drop I don't know if I'd use them. The Tein S-techs do 1.4 front .9 rear. Its like that to give you an even stance. If the megans are 1.6 front and 1.5 rear you aren't going to get an even drop, and it will look like crap.
Everything else is fine. This post has been edited by 95CelicaST: Dec 5, 2008 - 9:27 AM -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

tanabe df210 are supposed to be very good and are made in japan low drop and 3.1 f/ 2.8r spring rates those arent spring rates. spring rate is the amount of weight needed to compress a spring. almost everyone on here that has aftermarket springs has the s-tech/ gr2 combo. Eibachs and other springs with an even drop amount are going to make the back end look like its sagging. I had eibach sportlines and coomer ended up cutting a coil out of each front one to even out the drop... which was a bad thing to do. op, if you want to be able to play with the drop go buy a set of ground control coilovers and the gr2 struts. i had that seup on my first celica and loved it. you can change it up from between 1" and 4". -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

megan springs: front-1.6" rear-1.5" kyb gr2 shocks suspension techniques front and rear sway bars cusco front strut bar This tells me he is not after looks. He is after performance. I say its a good set-up, but you should upgrade your endlinks to st185 ones and get some adjustable camber plates. What helps out a lot too is a rear strut bar. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

if you were truly into performance you wouldnt buy springs.
op, to answer your question, koni yellows and s-techs would be a great daily driver setup. This post has been edited by 95CelicaST: Dec 5, 2008 - 11:40 AM -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Well im not looking for high performance sport suspension. Im looking for more of a smother ride more comfortable. The roads in ireland arent the best, there is alot of bumps and crap on the road and at the moment my cars bouncing all over the place. What do you think? |

go look through the members gallery or just search for s-techs and look at the stance. my vote is for them.

Eibach sportlines don't give an uneven looking drop. It looks great with them; I've gotten many compliments. On rough roads however, you're not going to have the most comfortable ride.
