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.

Makes sense to do it all at the same time then I suppose, thanks mate! |
