Hi! First post on the forum after lingering around for a few weeks. A few weeks ago I purchased my new to me 1994 Celica 2.0. It has 95k kilometres on the clock and is a stunner!

3 things that I want changed is the suspension, wheels and making more rigid.

Wheels have been sorted and I think I know what offsets and spacers I will need for he look I want, sway bars and strut braces are yet to be looked into further but I wanted to ask about coilovers.

I've read through the sticky where yes, there is a list of kits but there is no feedback and a lot don't have prices.

I have a budget of upto £600 for coils unless someone has some second hand they want to separate with.

What would the UK guys recommend? Our roads are pretty dismal at the beat of times so nothing too firm and I want roughly 20-30mm drop as I need the car to be practical still.

I will be making a kinda build thread when I start getting and collecting more parts for her so everyone and I can keep a record and see the changes that will happen.

Matt

first ask yourself this main question. what will the car be used for?

if the car will be used for looking good low to the ground and 10% of the time used for Auto X or any type of racing I say go with raceland USA coilovers. cheap. economical and it will give you the look you want to be lowered. but the key word here is CHEAP. so expect a bouncy ride and lower end decent handling the same goes with Megan Racing and God Speed there stuff is worst then Raceland USA and a little more pricey.
I loved my BC coilovers but was a little to much for the car. I felt like I could never put them to there full potential. this was a driver mod upgrade needed, not a BCcoilover issue.

if your more for auto crossing and some spirited driving. you cant go wrong with the proven tech of eibach/tien/hks springs and koni adjustable shocks. best combo along with a good tire. my favorite set up. ever!
