Ok, here's the installtion pics and notes:
Starting out:  Front Strut:  The car here is a 99. Notice in the picture above that in addition to the brake line, there's an additional wheel sensor line (ABS maybe??) that must also be removed. It's a 10mm bolt. Front done looking like it's got a rear lift:  Rear Strut:  Same thing to note here as on the front, the additional wheel sensor line that must be removed.  Technique for removal/installation of sway bar end link. Craftsman reversible ratcheting wrenches are the bomb.  All done!!!!!!!!!! This is killer now. I highly recommend the S-Techs. Ride quality is VERY comparable to stock until you load the suspension up in a turn, and then you can tell that something isn't normal. Anyway, here's pics!!!! Before:  After:     Added these today finally:  And courtesy of Dr. Tweak........sort of a calling card:

Nicely done, that thing needed to be lowered bad. LOVE the "Tweakd" decal.

Looks GREAT Sean. I suggest some OEM rear extensions - would complete the look.

SSIII F&R splitters, JDM Tails, and Projectors are ALL on the list along with Lambo Doors w/shaved handles (possibly).

THat car is my lifelong dream and pride and joy even though it's stock. One of 584 Coupes in that color for 99.... And whoevers S-Tech post I one-upped.......my bad man. I didn't even see it, and didn't mean to do that to ya. -------------------- |

I recommend borrowing a car that has them and using them for a couple days. They're VERY hard to get in and out of. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

Looks good man. I love the ride quality on my s-techs. They make the stance of the car almost perfect to me.

And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

That looks awesome. Not too low but yet not high, a perfect drop for a celica IMO. Great job.

Thanks guys. We're really happy with the outcome, and although my wife disagree's I happen to think that the Celica now looks better then our Purple Pearl Trans Am.
