if you plan to autoX, get Tanabe. Otherwise, I would get tein. Eibach are overpriced, and there are no others that appeal to me.

i just got my eibach sportlines on. i love them. the ride is very firm and not bouncy at all. the handling got a lot better too. i and about 20 other people on here will reacomend them as great springs.
i dont think anyone on here got the teins on their car yet, so i doubt youll get any opinions on them. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Well I got my sportlines for under 200 shipped, and that was through tirerack.com, which is one of the adds on the site. Im very happy with my sportlines.

think of it this way.... prokit: a nice looking drop and great ride quality. sportlines: extreme drop but i little worse ride quaity. dont even think about how many inches each kit drops you. mine said 1.5 but i swear the car sits at least 2in lower.

The more and more I get used to my car, the more sure I am that the TRD springs are installed on mine.

well today was the first day that i got to really drive my car around with the sportlines. the drop is very extreme, it took me a few days to get used to how low my car is. the ride quality is also very very good and not bouncy at all. the best part has to be the handling. i have facoty front sturt brace and for the rear i have the brace that comes stock in the gt4. adding these springs made my car handle like a dream. there is almost no body roll and you can take turns a very high speeds. i have honestly never driven a car that handles better then this one.

I've seen a pic of it before on some site. I can't remember which one. I think maybe celica.net. I do remember what it looks like. Its black and tube shaped like the front. It has to bolt points on each side. Very simple and plain

I found the pics over on Celica.net
   Tried to find the one of the brace on a car, but the member ride photos are a bit hosed at the moment. Maybe someone can chime in here with a pic of it on the car. Mark |

just think of the springs this way...
Prokit - better ride, with little sacrifice of ride quality. Sportsline - true enthusiast with more sacrifice on daily driving. i don't have the booklet that came with my sportlines anymore, but it said something to that effect. --------------------  |
