so here is the story of my 95 vert in pictures.....
the day i bought her...     Experimented a lil with the lights and fitted my first vanity plate....    my first mod... 17" adr wheels   then i lowered her 4" rear and 3.5" front...   then came the rear spoiler and air intake...    unfortunatly the next mod was not planned...      so i stripped her down to fit the after market parts...     put on the new 18" wheels and tyres...   then the GT4 hood, Curren tails and fiber glass fenders...   put on the bodykit and GT4 raiser blocks...     then off for paint...  and window tint...    painted the dash and install the hidden radar detector with dash warning...     and installed a short shifter...   installed the led fog lights and markers...    the brakes...  now lowered another 1" to 5" all around...   got myself a custom plate...  so i decided that i would continue with some body work starting with a custom spoiler, most won't like it but oh well its my car. next to blend the body kit and straighten the lines.     and here are a few pics at last weeks meet....    and there is this video of me doing the "blindfold parking challenge" at the meet... click this link! then i started the next stage of the body by widening the rear arches two inches and filling in the gap in the rear bumper and blending it.    and installed some modified Supra side skirts....    and some l.e.d. brake lights in the lower vents...  changed the spoiler out...  decided to change up the front end also...     Fitted new custom projector headlights...     and replaced the high beams,          more pics coming soon.....thanks for reading...

Got a couple questions though. How is the ride on that coilover set? If it rides decent, then you got a hell of a deal! Oh, and those springs say that they are for a 2000-2005 model Celica, and it fit with no problems on yours? Thanks, Ryan |

Thanks, Ryan [/quote] i bought a set for my 95 from the same guy but he did not have any listed right now so i found as close as i could to show, the ride is really not changed much with the exception of i really feel the bigger potholes or bumps due to a lot less travel, over all i am really happy with them and they are really inexpensive. -------------------- You're here for a good time, not a long time. - Colin McRae When in doubt...
