Anybody out there know any of the following spring rates:
Stock 1995 Celica GT springs Tein S-tech lowering springs Eibach Pro-kit springs Eibach Sportline springs I'm trying to decide what to get for my Celica. I am going to get a set of KYB GR2's for it, and plan to lower it with new springs. I've heard that the Tein's look nice, but are only slightly stiffer than stock, meaning bouncier ride and bump stop thumping, but are the Eibach Sportline's any better? They both drop about the same. Thanks. |

according to our local shop, prokit ~15% stiffer than stock, and sportline ~40% stiffer than stock.
Does anyone know what stock spring rates are? My old ground controls on my last celica were 380f/260r I am hoping for something with a little better ride quality. |

I love the feeling of a stiff car, that handles like a go cart, My last 2 cars were both stiff enough that you could take off a tire and take the jack out and the brakes would not touch the floor. Im thinking I want something mild, but Im not sure I was thinking of Pro kit, undecided on shocks, and the ST sway bars, and I would make up a couple of strut tower braces. I made a x brace in the trunk and a 3 point front strut brace for my integra. Does anyone have a setup like this? Have you auto-xed it? Does anyone know what spring rates the kyb gr2 shocks are valved for? |
