Looks great! All you need is a 7th gen steering wheel to match.

With great power (coilovers), comes great responsibility (spiderman). Aesthetics may be top of mind, but from an engineering stand point....You may be slightly lower than your ideal roll center for the best possible handling. Either way...Great work, and looking great!

Either way...Great work, and looking great! thanks!  yeah you are right, it is form over function right now but I only drive it on the weekends and it's just got a 7afe anyways. hahahah. I'm still not happy with how it is right now too so minor tweaks and more mods will definitely happen.

Awesome! I always wanted to put the Rav4 Airbag on my Celica(haven't had any luck finding one in good condition though). Just looking at it from the pictures. It blends in quite nicely!

thanks! yeah it does. You should do it. It would look nice in your celi too. Seeing as yours is a 98 and already has a 3post wheel, shouldn't be hard at all. just keep an eye out on ebay. got my airbag for $70.

installed these:
 took all day. don't ask...  but tightens up everything. cornering feels nice. I think with this, the suspension should be set for now. (strut bars, coilovers, & endlinks) don't think I'm gonna do sway bars as I like the ride to not be so harsh hahaha.

You can order straight from their website too: http://www.gt4-racing.eu/index.php/toyota-...-sway-bar-links they come from poland so take a little while but great quality. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
