What's up guys?
I just picked up a set of Eibach Sportline springs (1.5" drop) for my 95 GT. Are these any good? I'm planning to use KYB GR-2 struts (they're cheap) Will these be any decent? Think it'll look alright. Thanks, Shaun |

400,000 km is not equivalent to 400,000 miles... |

I love my Eibach Sportline springs as well. They handle nicely, aren't bouncy, and provide a nice looking drop. Just take a look at my profile if you want to see a few pics.

That's a whole lot of milage. How the hell did that much mileage get put on in that short amount of time. My car has alot of mileage on it. 143,000 miles and it's only a 97. It's holding up beautifully though. Just had my timing belt changed so I'm good to go another 90,000. Our engines are built to last as were the past Toyota engines. My friend had a 4th generation celli and he sold his car with 200,000 miles+ on it.

lol.. I bought it at 289,000km (so divide by 1.6 for miles)
But according to some techs at the dealership they were telling me with good gas, and proper oil changes the 5S-FE should last 500,00km without major issues. And once the motor blows just drop in a 3SGE or better yet 3S-GTE. Fun fun. Gotta love the reliability of the car though. It's honestly a tank when it comes to that department. Shaun |

so I'm having eibach sportlines installed and new 17's installed and aligned. Do I need a camber kit for this 1 1/2" drop?
It should be done this afternoon. I'll post some pics soon. Oh by the way, I got cheap wheels and tires at Victoria WHeel and Tire but It took them 3 MONTHS to get to me. So I suggest not going to get wheels from them. Their service SUCKS! They got my order mixed up to and sent the wrong tires to me. |
