So I just got my 95 ST on Feb. 13th and it came with uninstalled TEIN springs. It says it will lower 3in in front and 2in in back. If you go to http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/790181 you can look at how my car stands. My question is if I install the springs will it compromise having 4 people in my car? With people in my car, do you think it will rub on the tires? Any help would be great, thanks!

I don't think that is a correct number. Everything I have read is like .9" and 1.4" OR something around those numbers

QUOTE Everything I have read is like .9" and 1.4" Thats what the TEIN website says - and they have a picture. I think thats a reliable source. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Yeah, I just went to the TEIN site, it says 1.42 in front and .94 in rear. The previous owner wasnt too bright. Good thing I got that Celica off him before he wrecked it.

Yes..its about 1.5inches front and about a inch in the back. They ride fine and you will be fine carrying a full load still.
