Not sure, but the front will most likely scrape going on and off. When I sold my stock 3000GT the buyer used a U-Haul tow dolly. Getting it onto it he almost ripped the front bumper off... After that it was fine.

The lowered Celica will be a little closer to the ground than the stock 3000GT was, maybe a 4/5" at the most. It had plenty of space between the rear and the ground. Maybe someone here can confirm, but I'd imagine should be ok.

When my car got towed a few days ago, the guy lifted up the front wheels and just towed it on the rear wheels.
The muffler was close to the ground and probably scraped on larger bumps, and thats owered on tien s techs. Not sure if this helps you at all but thats my experience. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

yeah the only low part in the rear of a celica is the bottom of the tailpipe on an aftermarket exhaust.

I towed mine with a tow dolly and hard part was getting it on the tow dolly. I jacked the car up and put the dolly under it and then it was fine. Mine was on Eibach springs, and koni shocks, 3" exhaust and front/rear extensions. I took the front extensions off and once it was on the dolly it was fine.

well thats why you place the dolly on the beggining of a ramp while getting out of the garage. then the car goes in horizontally.
