Ive read lots of threads on these forums about the tein lowering springs and it sounds like everyone is happy with them, Ive also read that the tein springs + kyb combination is pretty popular, but I dont exactly know what kyb products I need for this setup, can somebody help me out?

Sorry latin... thats a little wrong. Basically, shock to my knowledge is a one way absorber. A strut is a two-way thus controling the vehicle better than a shock. Shocks a still primarily used in the trucks. Next time you see one, look by the rear tire. Its a post just like the lifts on the Celica hatchback. Shocks are separate from the spring and normally beside them. A strut is combined with the spring into an assembly. Now a coilover is a spring thats adjustable. Easy on that one. Here is a nice article. http://www.cartalk.com/content/columns/Arc...ebruary/07.html Morgan |

Yes... Celicas have struts all the way around. You would have to replace all of them if you were upgrading. The front should be the same. The rear will be independant. Meaning it'll look like this in an order: Front x 2 - model #123456789 Rear Left - model #987654321 Rear Right - model #1234554321 just for you non-street smart people - those are not real model numbers |

If the KYB's are just OEM replacements, why get em? If you want stock, your car came with it.
Go Koni Yellow. Koni's 8-way adjustable struts will own ANY kyb. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
