6G Celicas Forums

poly urethane motormounts and sways
NOW!

dunno yet. these are just future plans. i need money first. haha

I grew up driving on a road just like this one, had about 5 different cars before I moved away. 1979 subaru station wagon(pretty terrible) 1973 ford maverick 302v8(fast enough on the straight parts) 1976 Celica gt (good fun to toss around) 1988 VW Sirocco on coilovers(car handled like a roller coaster) 1984 Celica Supra(won every time with that car)... ah the good old days they were a blast =)

which rd in SD county?

It was in Riverside county, highway 74 it's about 55 miles from Hemet to Palm Springs, fun road as it's pretty smooth and the corners have deep banks. I lived in Idyllwild which was up in the mountains between the two.

Here is even better advice.


Install, 1 part at a time and go make a few runs. See how you like it, then install the next part. Do a few runs, see if it made it better or worse.

If you slap all that **** on a one time you have failed.

haha that's exactly what my buddy told me. thanks for the advice to harold.

i agree. its best to compare the difference in handling of stock suspension vs the mods you're gonna put in.

Where does one get the BC coilovers?????

http://bcracingsuperstore.com/product/toyo...9-toyota-celica

$999.00 and I think they come with free shipping...

Wait you live in orange county, like the OC? Where everyones filthy rich and loaded by their parents with supercars or hummers? Why do you have a celica then?

I have a similar setup

C-One 3pt strut
Cusco rear strut
Cusco 4pt lower arm brace
vincentdoggys trunk brace
BC coilovers
225/45/17 KU31's

Running 25/32 clicks front and 27/32 clicks rear. Not sure how low but yeh pretty fun atm. Just getting understeer maybe invest in a whiteline rear swaybar later.

yea i live in the OC haha. i dont see hummers around often. but i do see a lot of cars in the jdm import and hella flush scene on the daily. the most common cars youll see around are EGs, EKs, integras, RSXs, STIs, s2k and evos. theres a house in my neighborhood that actually has a rhd EJ, rsx, integra, and eg. i refer to it as the honda house. haha. i have a celica because my parents randomly picked it out for me and bought the car without me knowing. they just found it on autotrader. to be honest i actually wanted an EG or EK at first. i didnt like the 4 bug eyes on the celica at first. but the car grew on me and now i love it. LOL but im glad i got the celica.

inatstead of spending all that money on the bc coilovers go with the megans, bc manufactures megan also so they are rebranded bc coilovers, its like the cheap food at the store, different bag label and name but its still the sama stuff on the inside. just my .02

Thats not true. Megan have different spring rates compared to Bc's.

Yes, but not all BC racing coils have 6/4 kg/mm sping rate. Other BC coilover applications have 8/6 kg/mm spring rate. Same as the MR spring rate which is 8/6 kg/mm.

you can choose your own spring rates for BC's within reason

i've seen a set of jic magic coilovers for the macphearson strut suspension up on nengun yahoo auctions for about $1000 about 6 months ago, used of course but those would be ideal. keep an eye on nengun auctions they have some rare stuff used for real cheap sometimes

think im gonna take a different route..starting to wanna just get my car low and looking like this(st-205's car)
