Hey All,

I just joined this forum acutally and it's my first post!

I would like to know if anyone knows where is the cheapest website to buy Tanabe DF210 lowering springs and KYB Struts from.
I've looked at a couple sites but a lot of prices keep fluctuating and I would like to double check if people know websites that I can purchase of off that's cheaper.

Thanks!

Thanks guys,

I was about to buy from this link;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TANABE-DF21...sQ5fAccessories

But the thing is... it says ST202 on the top... and Idk if mine is a ST202 I believe mine is a AT200?

I have a 1996 Celica ST model... and ST only comes with the 7A-FE corolla engine if I'm correct; so that's the AT200 family right? Will that spring still work for my car?

Also does anyone have any pictures of their 6gc with Tanabe DF210 lowering springs?

Hmm not quite sure? What are you trying to ask? I think my Celica is a AT200; 7A-FE engine; ST Model; 96'
So... Idk if it is a ST202;

What is a superstrut?

Hahaha Alright wink.gif

Thanks for the help everyone!

One more question tho!

I'm ordering KYB Gr-2 Struts also to go along with my springs...

Here's the website I'm ordering it from...
http://justsuspension.com/vaf/product/list...0&year=7265

Can someone tell me the difference between the first two listings?
One is priced at $215.14
the other is priced at $213.00

Where it says, "Includes #####" The numbers do not match up. Which ones should I be getting?

some celica came with front sealed struts. My 94 Celica ST came with no sealed struts, so when I bought my front kyb shocks it came with the insertss only.

Now I have a set of front KYB Shocks that came with the shock whole assembly. If you pics to understand what I'm talking about let me know and I'll post em up asap.

Thanks but it's okay! I went to a tire place and the worker told me to just purchase all sealed kyb gr2 struts cuz even if they are replaceable struts you can change it to a sealed assembly. So Im just gonna do that. He found out that my fronts were resealable and my rears were sealed. But he said if I'm ordering a whole set of 4; I should order the sealed struts instead so that's what I did.

But thanks so much for the help!(:

Excuse me for using this thread, but my question is connected with it. I was wondering is it possible to fit lowering springs and use the standart OEM shocks on my Celica ST ? Will this combination damage my shocks or shorten their life ?

It will shorten their life. They were designed only for OEM springs.
