I'm not trying to be an ass but is it okay for the car, I mean it looks like it would rub. What are the pros and cons of doing that to the wheels?

QUOTE (epocsirhc @ Aug 26, 2011 - 2:07 AM)  I've noticed often times people misuse the term coilovers. Many times they are a Mcpherson strut with an adjustable spring it all comes down to where the strut is mounted to. I'm a parts salesman... I know what a part is when I see it. She has aftermarket coilovers in the rear then. I thought she did. She was complaining about it riding too rough and that the shocks were bad because of it *sigh*. Welcome to having a sport import hun, don't like it, go back to your Saturn SL. So the owner before her actually did some suspension work. I've gotta get that little thing running again so I can bomb around in it a couple times to "test the suspension." Did a bounce test and the car is planted. Doesn't move at all. I'm curious as to what brand coilovers are in the rear now. This post has been edited by RabidTRD: Sep 26, 2011 - 5:01 PM -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

Ball shifters are the way to go. I love my carbonfiber TRD one. They get ****ing cold winter and ****ing hot in the summer, but that just means that none of my friends will drive it.

My co-worker would tell you that "that's not low enough" while I say, that's too low lmao. To each their own, although it does look good. How's it feel in the bends while that low?
