QUOTE (cheela @ May 19, 2014 - 12:00 PM)  no problem. yeah, I had a set of TRD springs I was gonna put on but ended up selling those to fund these since springs + new struts + strut mounts and whatever else adds up to just a little bit less than the coilovers. What struts do u recommend? |

if you are just doing springs and struts then go with KYB GR2s. most members on here that run springs use them.

KYB 2GRs, got them on my Eibach Sportlines. 1.5" drop front and rear, but it seems to have leveled the GT out, the front sat a little higher than the rear on OEM springs and struts. |

^yup.
pair the KYB GR2s with Eibachs, TRDs, or TEINs. They all give relatively the same drop. -------------------- *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. |

I live in the city where we have terrible pot holes and silly speed bumps. I'm actually about to change my KYB GR2 struts with Tein lowering springs to the Megan EZ Street coilovers because I heard so many good things about them. I have enjoyed my time with the KYB struts and Teins but it's just too low of a setup where I'm at for the harsh winters. The cool part with the coilovers is I can adjust them.  My old suspension is slightly used, so it will be for sale soon if you're interested. |

It's really hard to tell the difference in height with a staggered setup of a FWD car. Those rear tires are excessively larger than the front.

The tien Springs aren't a huge drop, so you may or may no be able to ride higher on the coilovers. Hopefully you looked into that. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

If the tein springs are the same as mine, then you will notice the difference, but it may not be enough for you, personally the rear still sits a little to high fro my liking.

Yea I thought I heard the ez coilovers could be as high as the stock height but I haven't really looked into it myself. I guess I'll have to find out lol |
