I need to find the best lowering springs... with more drop than the tein s-tech - anywhere from 150 - 300 dollars.... thanks for any input. Please suggest anything but Tom's X-dynamic... because i've had some and they don't fit right biggrin.gif

well I have Ground Control Coilovers, and there pretty darn good, I dont really know much about lowering springs because I never really liked em and you only getting about an inch to two drop.

but anyway the tein s-tech is probibly one of the best.

The lowest drop I've seen so far is the Eibach Sportlines, they're supposed to be 2" all around. 40% stiffer than stock, but you'll still potentially blow your struts, or KYB struts, when you're that low.

I called KYB and they told me that more than 1" is going to blow the struts after a while, they won't warranty if you drop it more than 1". 2" is extreme, so if you go that low you should look into some Bilstein or Koni struts.

Sounds like your buying lowering springs over & over confused.gif
(Please suggest anything but Tom's X-dynamic) Hmmm how many spring have you purchased so far confused.gif
If you continue you might just save all that money & be able to just buy Tein or any Coilovers ?

The thing is.. i have two celica's biggrin.gif . My 94 originaly had Dropzone coilovers (they are crap). So my dad wants to replace them with good springs... i've ordered Tom's X-dynamic's for my car and when they came in - we noticed that they won't fit exactly right because of their shape ( and i didn't want to take the chance - so we sent those back ) , and then I ordered Tein's for my 97. Im pretty satisfied w/ my Tein S-tech's , but i wanted to see a little more drop on the 94 - so i was looking for a spring w/ lower drop (2.2-2.5 in front , 1.5 in back). We just ordered some Tanabe DF210's for the 94 celica, and i think i'm gonna be happy w/ those. I might even like them soo much - I sell my Tein's and get another set of Tanabe's ... lol biggrin.gif
