Finally I got those 17's and Eibach Sportlines for a good deal from Victoria Tire and Wheel. $$ was good but Service sucked. It took them 3 months to deliver them!! I would NOT do business with them again.
The springs are in, the wheels with 205-45/R17's Z rated Ventus Hancooks are on. The funny thing is Eibach Sportlines are supposed drop our Celica's about 1.5", but I measured mine, and they are definitely lower than that! 1.75" at least! Hopefully they are not defective springs, I didn't want any bottoming out. But I'm not complaining. That wheel gap between the tire and the top of the wheel well is gone. The curve of the tire and wheel fits perfectly with the curve of the fender/wheel well curve. The ride is not rough at all. I'd say pretty similar to stock 15's and stock springs. I just have to slow down for speedbumps so that I don't scrape. Got some wheel locks too, just in case. I also painted my calipers to match the silver of the rims and to hide any rust. What do you guys think? Its my first mod, but I am pretty happy with the results. Handles great around curves too!

Hmm, well, the wheels are hot. On a second note, performance isn't worth it unless you go the Turbo route or you swap (in my opinion). I would get the lip kit, that would set your car off real nice.
