People with lowered cars... Options

[bufferdan]

I have a few questions for people with lowering springs.

Did anyone have any alignment issues? Did you get your car aligned after installing the springs? What kinda of springs do you have?

I have intrax springs on my 3000GT ive had to buy adjustable camber and toe arms to get the rear-end in spec. Anyways, im thinking about going with Tein springs for the Celica.

To do the front on these cars dont you have to remove the elliptical bolt to pull the strut off? I guess as long as you mark the bolt to the strut and adjust it to the same spot when you put it back then you shouldnt have camber problems in the front.

What they say is for each inch you drop, camber should be pulled out so many degree's which in turn will cause toe to be needing adjustment also.

I guess these cars arent too picky about lowering. When i dropped my 3000 with intrax (1.5front,1.7back) the camber went WAY off! The rear wheels were tucked in so much. It does handle wheel but it kills your tires. Look at the rear wheels in this pic...
