I hear good things about stock suspension... except it's not low enough.
Seriously now... how do you go about comparing full dampners (1200+ Teins) to low rate spings and stock replacement shocks? I'll be the one to say, 99% of you's get springs because you like your car lower. Lowering the car without decreasing stroke will almost always create a rougher ride. 90% of lowering springs made for 6gc celicas are not balanced sets. Their spring rates are low, their damping balance is unknown, it's all a mystery... but why oh why do we all get lowering springs? Cause they lower the car. Then why the discussion about which "brand" of spring is better than which? How do you even discuss this without mention of spring rates? stroke? balance? Who cares.... it's all about getting the car lowered. As far as sway bars go... unless you race the car on occasion... you don't need them. They don't do anything for looks... they don't really improve daily driver quality, they don't even neccesarily increase handling capability unless you know how to set-up a balanced suspension... so there really isn't a point aside from bragging rights. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
