why would you need to replace your axles? what kind of 400+ hp motor u putting in there?

[Jeremy1210]

how good are the pillowball mounts? what are they supposed to do?

[purplegt4]

adjust camber

[playr158]

cusco upper pillow ball mounts are not only stronger and pretty but they allow camber adjustment.....

and why replace axels? cause i have 2 broken ones

how did you brake 2 of them even when i was turboed and did 1/4 at spokane speed way i never had a problem with my stock axels

and thats a nice list of parts there about $4000

[playr158]

more then 4000$
and the driver side inner CV boot was broken just because it did....
and then i intensionally trashed the passenger side

[95CelicaST]

What Stern's are you looking at? Since most of their wheels are 8.5" or wider, and meant for RWD applications

[Cutrara]

Why do you need a big brake kit, unless you're producing massive amounts of power or autocrossing? If you're just looking for better handling I'd go with:
Rear Disc conversion
Cross drilled/slotted rotors all around
Some type of high performance pads
Stainless Steel Braided Brake lines

I can understand how the 7GC big brake kit could be a nice addition, but to me, not worth the some $1200 it costs.

[playr158]

unless you seen an autocrosser running 18" chrome rims i think your goin on the wrong track

and i already have wats on your list minus the SS brake lines but good idea i'll add them to the list...

big brakes are for the fact that they are big brakes and freakin sweet....
honestly do dinky lil ST rotors look good behind massive 18s? nope.... i need sumthing to fill the space

Does Tein even offer a electronic damping force controller that works with their SS coilovers for the Celica?

I think theres some problems with hood clearence, you need to use the GT-FOUR hood, because it gives some extra room under the hood for the controllers.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Dan, I think 95CelicaST is right....Sterns start at 8.5" wide, so just consider that when you shop. I love Stern wheels too, but thats alot of rotating mass unless performance and fitment is a secondary concern.

[playr158]

yea my fronts are 8.5" wide and the rears are 9.5" wide

performance haha thats joke

and fitment well thats wat offset is for....that and nothing a little bodywork couldn't help if needed

oh you have to use the ST185 EDFC system and need a hood change/cut to allow for the extra height of the EDFC

[purplegt4]

performance haha thats joke

do i know u?

Uh oh, Dan.....I have a feeling thats how your last project got into trouble. "....nothing a little bodywork can't help....."

9.5" wide wheels are going to rub like mad, I can't see them fitting withough hitting the inside of the strut on bumps or griding against the wheelwell. I mean, not to rain on the parade here....it'll look great with deepdish wheels like that, but I think the drivability of your car will suck hardcore if you use such a wide wheel.
