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 |

Box is correct, a spring-and-strut setup can be done for half of the $800 Megan set. Mounts and bellows aren't necessary.

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ May 19, 2013 - 3:26 AM)  Box is correct, a spring-and-strut setup can be done for half of the $800 Megan set. Mounts and bellows aren't necessary. Even with mounts you can get it all for $530 shipped right now by using eBay and Rock Auto. Without mounts it comes out to around $370 shipped. That's with using KYB struts/mounts and Tein springs. Though Megan has this new EZ Street coilover for $680 OBO, so if you need it all and you don't care about origin then that might be the way to go. Especially if you're wanting to drop 2" or more. I have the KYB and Tein combination and have been happy with it. I don't think I'd really want it any lower anyway due to the crap they pass off as roads around here. It's up to you though, depending on what you want looks and performance wise. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I spent ~$295.xx for my Stagg strut/ megan spring combo  best bang for your buck for lowering without coilovers.Re-used top mounts and no bellows. I've had em for over a year now with no problems, other than a lil' fender rubbin' in the rear after spacers  edit: also, liking that megan has cheaper coilovers available now
