hey Kamax, do some research on lowering springs stiffness rate. my don't know about how stiff these megan springs are.

I have tanabe df210, pretty low drop. and i wouldn't want to go any stiffer.

order from stiff-stiffer, tanabe df210, tanabe gf210, and tien s springs. tien are really stiff from i've heard sorta like coilovers....

QUOTE (Megan Racing)
Megan Racing springs are made with "SAE 9254," the strongest material from Japan. Our new material will offer a stronger product that is lightweight and corrosion-protected with its phosphate and powder coatings. The result is a spring that specifically offers racecar handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics. Carefully matched springs rates provide exceptional handling, response, control and balance. Springs lower approximately 2" Front & 1.75" Rear. The lowered center of gravity improves performance and increases stability, as well as enhancing the appearance of the vehicle.

Spec:

- Color: Orange

- Lower rate: 2" Front, 1.75-2" Rear

- Springs rate: 300F & 250R

- MSRP: $149


rates r what I'm looking for, but that's just my personal preference/goal. I'll check Ground Control rates, but then again, you can request spring rates for little to no extra charge.

EDIT: When you order G.C.'s you request your rates, or you can just tell them what kinda driving you do. Ground Control springs for 94-99 Celica
