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. |

QUOTE BTW, what width are the stock GT rims? Are they 15x6.5 or 15x7? If they're 15x7 I'm going to cry, I just bought new 205/55/15 Potenza RE950's last month, and if the rims are 7" then I could have done 225... =[ sorry, 15x7

[right][snapback]320679[/snapback][/right] Stay with the 205's... 225's are too big... you'd have to run a 45-50 series tire to compensate otherwise you'd have some thick sidewalls not to mention it'll hug over the wheel a bit. 225/45/15 isn't a common street tire size either.
