[audioOutput]

i have 18 inch enkei evo 6 on my 97 celica gt ... and im about to buy ither a sportline or a pro-kit is 1.5 drop too much??... 1 inch better??... i wanna put a c-one body kit on it too... maybe that changes thigs??..
i wanna put alot of things in my car actually... but thats besides the point right now..

where can u even find the c-one full kit... i looked everywhere??....

am i thinking to much ... geezz.....

any help woul;d be great ... thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drocay]

i'm guessing it depends on what u like, wut size tires u got, and if your going to get a kit?

[ghostdog]

you should be okay with a 1.5" drop. what width and offset are the wheels to be sure?

also you can order the full c-one kit at takakaira.com or bulletproofautomotive.com .. if you want to save on costs you may want to get the knockoff front and pair it with authentic sides/rear

you should be fine with either eibach springs. I had 18's w/35 series tires and I had no problems. I also know someone with 18's and 40 series tires. I think you ok either way.

[Drocay]

heres my thing, i only got 17's but i got 235/45 tires. and now that i got my kit there is no way i could drop my car unless i wanna hit everything in the road.

[audioOutput]

im not too sure about the size of my tires... ill have to check... but i know that there is a 1.5 - 1.75 gap inbetween the top of the tire to the fender...

and about the c-one body kit... MMAAANNN!!! $2000 + ... for the full c-one body kit!!.... geezz thats alot of money...

ghoust dog... u said somethig abo the knock off front.... where can i get this??.. how bout the whole knockoff kit?...

thanks agian for all the help!!...

[bloodrain]

get the fiberglass kit off ebay $400 shipped. Except the side skirts and rear bumper are from the invader I beleive, not sure if anyone makes the c-one side skirts and rear bumper.

[latinomasfino]

i have 225/40/18 they perfect on mine and i have it lowered 1.5 in the front and 1 in the back

[droptopGT]

i'd go with the 1" drop, not too low and not too high

[Jdog1385]

i have 18's and i went with h&r springs. they're about a 1.3" drop. in the middle of sport and racing height. i wouldnt go any lower. my wheel well is filled in pretty good and when i get bigger tires it will look even better.

[ghostdog]

cyberbestbuy.com .. but they only have the front. sides/rear you will have to import

[Blakout16]

i got 17's with 40 series and im dropped 2.2 inches! ha...

[Mr_E]

Running 18x8s with a 25mm drop.

Mine was lower than a ST202 to start with though. No rubbing, looks pretty good.


Goes like a banshee.

invader kit, z3 fenders
18" rims and arospeed coilovers
with more then 2.5" drop

[dustin15brown]

I plan on gettin Tein springs before too long... I'm pumped... But I've heard nothin but good news so you could look into it if you wanted?

[MonsterBOX]

either eibach prokit or tein...dont drop anylower with those 18's i think those to big for the car to begin with unless u have a different suspension car like the gt-4....ur car is gonna be really rough 18's if its lowered so watch out...dont go coilover unless ur buying tein or ground control nice stuff....and definately consider struts

mellisa,
your car looks good. Maybe some 5th gen mirrors, a boot for the top and some projectors and your set. What body kit are you doing?

[shin]

wow.. i like the rims.. and i think that height is good..

[lil_lissa]

im buying the zmax sides i think, and then going with front/rear splitters eventually.. sides are gunna be bought within the next couple weeks (waiting for some people to decide for a GB i'm in) projectors.. no prolly not.. im not willing to spend that much money on them..

gunna be buying a set of OEM fogs from a junkyard in the states somewhere cuz no canadian ones have any, then get a chrome exhaust tip to get rid of my POS... and then i should be set for a little while

something else in the future, maybe next wwinter i'd like to get started on is leather interior and ppl have been suggesting getting a roll bar made.. any other verts on here got a roll bar? i wanna see how it would look.

oh yeah, and clear turns and sidemarkers from PCP are gunna be on the way as soon as i find someone with an AMEX card

I have been looking into a rowbar for awhile, and there seems to be room right behind the seat for the base. The top is not in the way, and 2 ferrari f-50 type rowbars would look hot if you modded the boot to clear. Maybe Ill photoshop one this weekend. I really think its possible.

[lil_lissa]

yeah a friend of mine knows someone i guess who is all into making custom ones... sorry is it rowbar, i always thought it was rollbar, my bad

but i think id get one that goes all the way across instead of two near the seat.. it'd be more like this:
