DROP IT!
Car is looking sick though, for sure. May I ask when your indicators light up? Mine don't seem to...so I either blew a fuse or the bulbs are dead. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

As promised... Pics took today.
      Apologies for the car being so dirty, but you get the idea... (I haven't washed it since I've been to the drag strip, the numbers are still there haha.)  And for those of you who were wondering, I ran a 16.1 with a horrible launch. 15s will be fersure the next time I go. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(

Car looks good...however, I'd put the wing back on. It just doesn't look right unless the car is low and you have some ground effects. But I fully support your progress...save for the ricer gauges.
 Keep it up. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I hope you dont use your harness straps (Or the correct term) for driving on the streets. It can cause more harm than good than a seatbelt if not correctly secured in a crash.

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Dec 2, 2009 - 7:13 PM) Struts? Actually, I'm going to roll on stocks for now. I've been talking to people on the forum, and they've been telling me that I don't really NEED struts, they're just better to have. If I was going to lower it like 2" front and back, I would definitely get new struts. But since it's 1.4/.9 I don't think I'll need them for awhile. I'll make sure to tell everyone how it goes

Do take pics of the install. And from my knowledge, you don't ever need them...just be prepared for the stockers to blow in a few months.

Well, here she is guys.
The whole thing took about 3 hours with 2 people. 45 mins per wheel. And we were taking our time. I used a strut compressor.    It has a very nice firm ride now and is not bouncy at all. And I am still able to go over speedbumps! Also, check out my spare that I picked up for $50 (I decided that I needed a spare. I woke up one morning with a nail in my tire and figured it was a sign. Haha.)  Pics of install coming soon. Used a cell phone for it, so yeah. Hah.

QUOTE (marco-polo @ Dec 5, 2009 - 7:20 PM) the ride looks very nice! Thanks  I appreciate it.I did, however, put a little paint chip into the fender when I was trying to get the strut back into the car  I felt like punching myself in the face. Ugh. Haha. It's not noticeable unless I point it out, though. So I'll probably just use some touch up paint
