[audioOutput]

i have 18 inch enkei evo 6 on my 97 celica gt ... and im about to buy ither a sportline or a pro-kit is 1.5 drop too much??... 1 inch better??... i wanna put a c-one body kit on it too... maybe that changes thigs??..
i wanna put alot of things in my car actually... but thats besides the point right now..

where can u even find the c-one full kit... i looked everywhere??....

am i thinking to much ... geezz.....

any help woul;d be great ... thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drocay]

i'm guessing it depends on what u like, wut size tires u got, and if your going to get a kit?

[ghostdog]

you should be okay with a 1.5" drop. what width and offset are the wheels to be sure?

also you can order the full c-one kit at takakaira.com or bulletproofautomotive.com .. if you want to save on costs you may want to get the knockoff front and pair it with authentic sides/rear

you should be fine with either eibach springs. I had 18's w/35 series tires and I had no problems. I also know someone with 18's and 40 series tires. I think you ok either way.

[Drocay]

heres my thing, i only got 17's but i got 235/45 tires. and now that i got my kit there is no way i could drop my car unless i wanna hit everything in the road.

[audioOutput]

im not too sure about the size of my tires... ill have to check... but i know that there is a 1.5 - 1.75 gap inbetween the top of the tire to the fender...

and about the c-one body kit... MMAAANNN!!! $2000 + ... for the full c-one body kit!!.... geezz thats alot of money...

ghoust dog... u said somethig abo the knock off front.... where can i get this??.. how bout the whole knockoff kit?...

thanks agian for all the help!!...

[bloodrain]

get the fiberglass kit off ebay $400 shipped. Except the side skirts and rear bumper are from the invader I beleive, not sure if anyone makes the c-one side skirts and rear bumper.

[latinomasfino]

i have 225/40/18 they perfect on mine and i have it lowered 1.5 in the front and 1 in the back

[droptopGT]

i'd go with the 1" drop, not too low and not too high

[Jdog1385]

i have 18's and i went with h&r springs. they're about a 1.3" drop. in the middle of sport and racing height. i wouldnt go any lower. my wheel well is filled in pretty good and when i get bigger tires it will look even better.

[ghostdog]

cyberbestbuy.com .. but they only have the front. sides/rear you will have to import

i got 17's with 40 series and im dropped 2.2 inches! ha...

[Mr_E]

Running 18x8s with a 25mm drop.

Mine was lower than a ST202 to start with though. No rubbing, looks pretty good.


Goes like a banshee.

[dustin15brown]

I plan on gettin Tein springs before too long... I'm pumped... But I've heard nothin but good news so you could look into it if you wanted?

[MonsterBOX]

either eibach prokit or tein...dont drop anylower with those 18's i think those to big for the car to begin with unless u have a different suspension car like the gt-4....ur car is gonna be really rough 18's if its lowered so watch out...dont go coilover unless ur buying tein or ground control nice stuff....and definately consider struts
