Anybody out there know any of the following spring rates:
Stock 1995 Celica GT springs Tein S-tech lowering springs Eibach Pro-kit springs Eibach Sportline springs I'm trying to decide what to get for my Celica. I am going to get a set of KYB GR2's for it, and plan to lower it with new springs. I've heard that the Tein's look nice, but are only slightly stiffer than stock, meaning bouncier ride and bump stop thumping, but are the Eibach Sportline's any better? They both drop about the same. Thanks. |

If you match up spring rates with dampening... you can run stiff higher rate springs and still maintain a good ride. The typical "bouncy" with lowering springs is because lowering springs don't match well to the soft factory shocks, so the springs take a majority of the absorbtion. KYB gr2's are considered soft also. Ride height doesn't really affect the springs rates... it's just 6gc Celicas don't have a wide variety of choices when it comes to different types of springs/rates...

[right][snapback]320573[/snapback][/right] def right, I wish manufacturers would list the acurate specs of these products, koni will revalve the yellows to match your springs, I was running 500f/450r in my integra with revalved koni yellows and the ride was great however very stiff. Does anyone have sportlines with koni's? Or has anyone inquired to find out if we can find agx's to work with the celica? |
