those arent spring rates. spring rate is the amount of weight needed to compress a spring.

almost everyone on here that has aftermarket springs has the s-tech/ gr2 combo. Eibachs and other springs with an even drop amount are going to make the back end look like its sagging. I had eibach sportlines and coomer ended up cutting a coil out of each front one to even out the drop... which was a bad thing to do.


op, if you want to be able to play with the drop go buy a set of ground control coilovers and the gr2 struts. i had that seup on my first celica and loved it. you can change it up from between 1" and 4".

I was going to go for the koni yellow and eibach set up. Do you think the s-tech/gr2 set is better?
