Celicas can be dropped pretty low with the exception of body kits.

its the front and backs that have problems with bumps, but lowering it an inch to 1 1/2 shouldnt be bad with skirts

Very true. If it helps, I was running stock wheels/tires, 18x8 w/215/35-18 tires (same overall diameter) and 18x8 w/225/40-18 tires (slightly larger than stock diameter), all with zero issues. -------------------- |

i have 16s (not sure of the tire specs though) and no problems with scraping. i have oem sides on mine. it will also depend on how good/stiff your struts are.

athorn dont worry much about it. if you scrape, you scrape. i scrape...........but that's on really inclined driveways and really high bumps.
