Had a quick search but couldn't find anything, looking to lower my celica I was wondering if someone with experience could give some advice/recommend some springs, also how hard of a job is it to install them yourself?
Thanks

I have Tein springs with KYB struts. The handling ability it gives the car is phenomenal, you do trade off on comfort though. Stiff bitch gets a whole other meaning. Though if you want handling over ride, then Tein would be a good way to go.

Also running lowering springs on old stock struts is never a good idea. More often than not the struts blow out shortly and now you're paying more for labour than you would had you just replaced them with the springs.
