After two years on the Tein S-Tech springs, the shocks on our car are rattling like a mofo going over bumps now. I initially thought it was a tie rod end or a ball joint, but I had the car on a lift and everything checked out fine. Anyway.....

I was initially going to go with Bilstein shocks/struts, but they're only available in the touring for stock ride height. So I'm back to the drawing board here. I'm looking for a performance minded shock that's meant for lowered cars, and I'm not coming up with a whole lot.

Coil Overs are NOT an option right now. Too much money. So, what are you guys using?

whether or not you have rebuildables, I'd get the sealed struts anyway. It's only a couple bucks more and it makes the install so much easier. I got the rebuildable ones for the front and sealed for the back (all celicas need the sealed for the back), and it was a lot less messy to just put a whole new shock on rather than try to dissassemble it, put more fluid in, clean up all the fluid that spilled, etc. I'd say it's worth the extra $15 or $20 it is to get the sealed ones on the front.
