Lowering Help, Needs some answer Options

[hermo69]

Hey guys.....i know i can count on 6GC for answers.

I just bought a 94 Celica and everything was stock. I plan on getting 17" rims and probably lowering the car. As for how much....not too sure since a kit is going on and dont know how much clearance there is and i have a steep driveway

My question is, what is the best setup for ride quality in 17's. Should i use coilovers or springs and would i need to replace shocks/struts for better ones.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

you can run 2 sizes: 215-40-17 or 215-45-17.
the 40-series will be the same height as your factory tire. so the acceleration will be the same, but with a rougher ride. they may also cost about 5-10 bucks more each.
the 45-series(like mine) will be quiter, and smoother. but it is about a half inch taller. so it may throw your speedometer off a bit, your acceleration too but you may never notice it. see my profile, i have a 1-inch drop with factory struts. hope this helps.

if u get coilovers u need to get new shocks/struts because u will bounce, if u get a bad brand. i change my plans from coilovers to just 1.8 drop springs because i dont want to deal with bouncyness. ya will a 1.8 drop be so much with 17, and a bodykit? What if i have stock rims on my car how will the ride be with a 1.8inch drop
