hey guys, I would like to install the Eibach sportline onto my 97 celica GT. They will lower my car 1.5 inches. Is that too low or should I just get the pro kit and lower it 1 inch. I'm planning on putting 17' rims later on. Just wanted to make sure it won't rub.

How low did you guys lower your cars?

trust me, you dont want anything but the sportlines. they give you a perfect hight, also, I relly wouldnt go any bigger then 16's ... but thats my tatse, I think 17's will just be to big, also will slow your car down a good amount

i have Eibach sportline on my 94 GT. dropped 1.5" and i use 16" 7th gen rims. I need new yokohama tires though.... i think 17's would slow down your car alittle.. i prefer 16's.
