Lowering Springs Options

[hitcachi]

When looking for lowering springs, should i trust the cheap ass ones on ebay? I dunno if they are just good deals or absolute crap. I dont know that much about lowering springs so im just trying to get some advice here. Thanks.

I would go namebrand like Tien, Eibach, H&R, etc. Check out the Parts Database on this site and happy hunting.

IMO id go TRD. There a little more expensive, but again, thats my own opinion.

The TRD lowering springs will run u about $250 for a set of 4 from the dealer.

ya but TRD's wont do the 2in job im looking for

Yeah, and not sure if there are any Springs that go that low. You may need coilovers like Ground Control or Dropzone. I think Ground Control is the best.

i believe its said that sportlines or maybe its prolines drop the celica 2 inches, but there has been no physical proof. (ie pictures showing the difference)

You should look at the Tanabe DF210... Its got a 2.2 inch drop in the front, and a 1.5 drop in the back. Heres the site. They arent too badly priced.

Good idea and all but, RS*R Down Springs Toyota Celica 00-up, i believe they will still work, but im not def.

Ok ok, lowering springs, coilovers.....sooooo i worded the topic heading a little to specific! lol Starting Over. What do you guys believe to be the best lowering springs/ coilovers for the 6th generation Celica. And yes i am looking for a 2 in drop front and rear. so that basicly rules out lowering springs. So ya..... coilovers!

[JFrost9]

devilsden what are you talking about? if you scroll down a bit, you will see all the other springs...lol.

i dont know much about coilovers, but i think 2.2/1.5 is a good drop

2 inches is real low... i believe the eibach sportline lowering springs do a damned fine job at a 1.5 inch drop though if you do decide that 2 inches is too low. Not sure though, still looking into it myself.

I actually just installed eibach sportlines on my car on wednesday and i got an exact 2 in. drop on mine both front and rear. I ended up with about a 1/4 in. gap in the wheel well. They make it drive real nice and looks really good . I'll try to post some pics soon.

[JFrost9]

i dont understand how springs made for a 1.5in drop can achieve a 2in drop... The math just doesnt add up. Im curious to see these, im still deciding b/t the s. techs, and the eibach sportlines.

[97lestyousay]

I was in the same quandry. I think the teins have a nice stance. Good quality and a little
less expensive.

[playr158]

the s-techs and sportlines are both nice

the intrax will come much closer to 2" drop on just springs
and i have a set of aerospeed coilovers that i used to achieve nearly 3" worth of drop

but i have coustoe's car right now which is on sportlines...and sports a 2" drop with about 1/4" gap

[hitcachi]

What are some trust worthy sites that you can order of of? I've been browsing in the parts database but alas i just want your guys opinions. thanks.

is it really wise to go with lowering springs on stock struts?? and say you needed to raise your car back up for winter, and also didnt want to sacrifice much ride quality for a lower stance. are you better off with those TRD springs?
