I am going to buy tein super street damping coilovers for my car soon. I need to know if I am going to need other supplies besides what comes with the kit. After the coilovers are installed, is there going to be any problems having the car aligned? I do not know much about suspension, so please bare with me. I will also be adding 17"x7" Falken Torque 5 rims, with a offset of 40... I want to get the rear tires almost even with the wheel wells. What size tires(falken tires) and spacers should I get to do this? Also, does anyone know where I can find Tein SS coilovers at a good price($1200 or less)? Any help or opinions would be great. This is my second post on this site, but ive been watching all you guys for over 6 months now. I think this is the best celica site out there, and i believe this is where all the tallent is. biggrin.gif

I have to disagree with Kwanza about the Tein SS....I have a set installed on my Celica and its fantastic for daily driving, even on horrible New Jersey roads. The balanced spring rate and shock adjustability feature allow you to dial in a very comfortable setting even when they're agressively lowered and aren't just for track driving. However, I imagine they would be superior when tightened up for such circumstances.

I bought them from a member for a good price, so I jumped on it and the handling competency and adjustability of the Tein Super Street coilovers is beautiful. It totally changed the nature of the car, and it can handle rough roads well when on softer settings and handle like few cars I've driven when stiffer settings are used. Definately worth even more than I bought them for.

If you can find a good deal on them and want the best for your money, get the Tein colovers. Otherwise, Tein's S-Tech springs and KYB's are a great choice for the money. You can't go wrong with either, but just know what your goals are and how well you want your car to handle before you put forth the money.
