yea they were both facing down... thats just how they shipped them and I didnt take them out in that pic. They put me back about 850 and I'll have them installed next tues... Def should be a huge improvement and I cant wait until I see how they ride. The only member i've found on here that has them would be rjbibbeau... heres a couple more pics.

The ST203 comes with the 3SFE motor and 4WS (four wheel steer) it is the watered down JDM celica.

I get these installed tomorrow and I will also take some pics... got them from erzperformance.com when I could not find the d2 coilovers anywhere. Since the website owner didnt have the d2 coilovers, he gave me a good deal on these ksports.

alright guys sorry for the delay... finally got these installed by dr tweaks shop (southern car customs) in savannah, GA. First off, I had semi blown shocks and lowering springs and the ride was horrible. Now with these coilovers, the difference is night and day. The ride is fully adjustable and I was also able to raise the celica a bit for more comfort on florida roads. These coilovers are very stiff and I would say the ride quality is MUCH better. Turns with these are amazing how the celica sticks to the road, also on huge dips and potholes, the car does not dip and bottom out like it used to. I will have some pics up soon, and also more details as I adjust the dampening and give them some use. I got these from www.erzperformance.com and I would highly suggest these to anybody thats looking for a nice suspension upgrade.

Glad to hear you like them! I am also picking up a set and have several 240 friends that love them but i didnt know any celica owners with them. How is the camber in the rear with them being fixed and all? i hate that ridiculous "demon camber" on the rear thats common on civics it seems.
On a side note I love how ksports never seem to go for anywhere near there retail price of $1400. Everyone seems to pay way less. I'm getting mine for $770 from Fueled Performance locally. And on the chasis codes they list AT100/ST202 in my parts catolog. Was there even an AT100 or did I forget about it? |
