JICs SA1 Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Yeah, theyre not bad at all i hear....the guy who added the dropzone coilovers in the parts database apparently bought a pair and was happy with them, saying that GC's arent really worth the money compared to the dropzones. I'd sooner spend $150 for them than 400+ for GC, as long as they arent total crap.

I was leaning toward the springs for 80whatever. I wanted TRD's, but they are 200+ but i just don't know. I won't get coilovers because I don't want to get new shocks\struts. I like a smooth ride when ladys are with me.

hehehe, yeah, i need new shocks anyway, thats the only reason i say the coilovers. I figure that nows the time to get those koni yellows ive always wanted installed. About the TRD springs though, i dont understand all the hype......i mean, sure, theyre probably great quality, but you might as well not have them for the tiny 1" drop it gives you. I dunno, if i went for springs i would sooner get Eibach sportlines or these dropzones for alot less, with more drop........But thats just me

[presure2]

hey oreo any word on the JIC's yet???

More drop for less $$$, how can you beat that?
Deffinetly get the DZ springs or coilovers. If you do get the coilovers you don't have to get new shocks/struts as long as you don't drop it below 2" i think.

Anybody know if that's true? Also, I figure the TRD were made for our cars, thus they would perform better. Do coil overs ever come undone and start droping lower and lower, know what I mean? plus I don't want to grind my struts. now to decide what springs to get.

[FastLane95GT]

I got the GC coilovers, yes I did have to grind the strut a little, and I got new KYB GR-2 struts. They ride alright, definately not as well as they should for the $600+ I paid for the set up, but its not bad. However, if I were to do it over, I would either save up for the JIC's or just buy springs and some nice struts, like Koni's. And no, I have never seen anyone's coilovers start to drop down, they usually lock one way or another.

That's why it always comes with 2 wrenches to lift/drop the car. So don't worry any about it dropping on you by itself.

[FallenHero]

what's better for springs.

Eibach, TRD DZ

Think quality, performance and price. (although nobody has DZ's)

[presure2]

from what i hear the TRD's are actually made by eibach..lol the eibach's themselves are REAL nice, i have them (sportlines) myself and am real happy with the drop although it isnt THAT low the roads around here are GODAWFUL. and the handleing is awsome, which was my biggest concern when i got them. i didnt wanna have to deal with the creaking poping grinding and other stuff accociated with coilovers. i havent heard anything worth saying about the DZ's although IMO you usually get what u pay for..i think intrax also makes springs for our cars, and the drop is 1.75" if i remeber right. i think a couple guys around might have em..
all i know is i am waiting to hear what oreo has to say about the JIC's...MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM:::::::::::DROOOOOLLLL:::::::::::

hehe, hopefully it's b4 the drop.....Coomers car looks lower to me, and i would rather buy GR-2 shocks and eibachs instead of coilovers and Konis......for the money effectiveness of it all, that is.

[presure2]
