After all sorts of hassles, I'm finally getting my exhaust. Now it's time to figure out what I'm gonna do about my suspension. The only thing I'm sure about is that I dont want coilovers and that I dont want any more than a 1.75" inch drop because it seems like the road crews around here do more sleeping than fixing potholes. What springs would you guys recommend? Also, will I need to buy new struts if my stock ones are still in good shape? Thanks a lot guys.

a true coilover setup will cost a couple g's on a celica...
what alot of other people refer to as coilovers (those ground control things) are not coil overers, just merely ajustable preload springs to vary ride height are pretty useless up here if you drive in the winter. Salt will corode those threads in minutes... especially up in PA! lower ride height will not destroy your struts unless they bottom, but you would have to remove bottom stops for that. The damping on a lowered car is insuficient with stock struts as the decreased travel with a higher spring coeficient is too much for stock struts to dampen bumps properly. You won't damage anything just throw off the handling over rough surfaces. Sorry I can't review any springs, but I can't afford them yet... gonna go with 1" drop though. |
