Im starting to collect my suspension for an STS Celica. I will be running my Celica in STS[N] for the winter season [3 different series] Being in STS isn't as easy as GSN was.. haha. Right now my stock springs are getting worn [stupid quick]; I will need a replacement as soon as I get the money [haha] For the autoX fellas out there.. what would you recommend???

Some might read this and not get it.. heres an example

Front XX kg
Rear XX kg


--------------------
The only other car I can really base it on are the AE92 Crowd.. although they're lighter [300 I think..] and are more rev happy [Damn their stock 4AGE..] suspension is probably closely related [setup wise]


THANKS!

I'm running my ST in our SWVR and won a STS for a season. Nate with his GT just started, so I trying to help him as much as I can, but he did great for a first time. I was impressed.
Anyway...
I'm using Dropzone lovering springs 1.5" drop with a OEM shocks. Super set up for a start. Also using GT sway bars. ( helped a lot) Camber front: -2.6, rear -1.0 Best what you can do for no many spended. Next season buying adjustable shock. That is going to help a lot, because my current ones are shot pretty bad. So buy some Dropzones or whatever with max 1.5" drop, if you want to stick with stock shocks and just learn the car. After you know your car , you can start spend more many in to it. That way you buing something what is going to actually help you. Lots off people spending many for all kind off sway bars, strut bars , coilovers etc with out any sense or knowledge. So that's what I think and you can take it or not. Good luck with your car and have fun with it. Web side: swvrscca.org
