hmm that would be nice if the site would not allow any members to create threads with words using: cold air intake, cai, intake, header/ebay header, haha thats all I can think of right now. And then redirect them to the search button in the top right hand corner

Aren't coilovers an integrated strut and spring? Correct me if I'm wrong.

QUOTE (95CelicaST @ Dec 4, 2009 - 10:12 AM)  If they are threaded sleeves slipped onto a regular strut, then you don't have "Tom's" coilovers, and someone screwed you. Remember - Tom's is just "Tom's", not Tom's Motorsport. Popping in this situation is generally caused by the coil not having anything to seat into and it moves, making a pop noise. Do your coilovers look like this?  Or like this?  the top pic are just sleeves, just to lower the car bottom pic have adjustable damper setting and also i believe a mac pherson strut are also called coilovers This post has been edited by nics: Jan 11, 2010 - 3:45 PM -------------------- God made man....

I had GR-2's with a Ground Control coil/sleeve kit and it rode fine. It was stiff, but okay. After about 20K miles the KYB's were already on their way out. GR-2 is an OEM replacement, so while they say (they=KYB) you can put lowering springs on them, I would definitely save the money and buy Koni or Bilstein shocks.
