I bought some lowering springs a while back that lower 2" in the front and 1.75" in the back. People keep telling me its "too low". I personally dont think so, but then again I dont have anything to reference. Does anyone have a car this low?

Many people have their cars that low, and lower. What size wheels do you have? 2" on stock wheels might be too much, but I think playr had 14" wheels and coilovers...
also, if you don't think its too low, then who cares about what "people" say? It isn't their car... -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

True. Yea I have stock wheels now, so if its too low I dont want to scrape. Plus I'm a bit on teh "hefty" side, so I have some natural lowering abilities.

2" is not that low. I have Intrax springs and they drop 1.8" but it usually goes slightly lower or settles especially if the shocks are not new.

I was a bit hesitant at first also lowering that much on stock wheels. But i went ahead and did it, and its turned out great. The drop looks awesome and just like all lowering, you will have to adjust your driving habits but you'll be fine. -------------------- Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06.
