Lowering Woes, And shock questions Options

[Coomer]

Before my car went into the body shop, I had some super high coilovers installed on it. They slammed the car so that it was probably about 2-2.5" below stock height, and the ride was really bouncy and bottomed out on everything. Last night I raised it up once I got the car out of the body shop, so now it's about stock height. The car doesn't bottom out, but the ride is still pretty bouncy though. It's definitely a lot bouncier than stock, even though it's about at stock height. It makes me wish that I hadn't lowered the car at all in the first place, at least not until I could afford new shocks to handle the drop.

I want to get some new shocks fairly soon, and I was considering Koni Yellows, so I did some research and found that they cost $300-400 just to install them! I was wondering if any shock is going to cost that much to install, or if it's just the Konis. Also, is there an alternative to the Koni Yellows that provides close to the same handling, but without adjustability(Or the higher price tag.) Thanks!

Groundcontrol, JIC and others.

This my believe.

Why do you want to lower your car?
- For performances and looks or vice versa.

When lowered, what will happen?
- Better ride for stability and performance
- More likely to have ruff ride and some suspension problems?

What should I pay?
- wait and save. Spend cheap and and get ulcers. Let chris tell you. bang, bang, bang!

- I believe that a good suspension will cost you over $300.

If you want, try a lower spring (Eibach, Intrax, H&R and so on) with a good shock like what is mention about.

Prices depends on where you buy your shocks from.

Try www.google.com to find site that sells shock or suspension kits.

JIC looks like pretty good shock.

Even better, try to find out from celica owner if the ST, GT and GTfour suspension setup is the same. Once so, you have unlimit parts.

I think GT owner have rear disk brakes. Again, we have alot of Japanese GT here usning the 3SFE and 3SGE engines using Rear Disk Brakes. I am not sure on the suspension.

All of this info can then go into the 6gc,net information center for ST, GT, GTfour suspension setup.

Sounds good?
