Need some help..., going to buy Tein SS coilovers Options

[Driftz]

I am going to buy tein super street damping coilovers for my car soon. I need to know if I am going to need other supplies besides what comes with the kit. After the coilovers are installed, is there going to be any problems having the car aligned? I do not know much about suspension, so please bare with me. I will also be adding 17"x7" Falken Torque 5 rims, with a offset of 40... I want to get the rear tires almost even with the wheel wells. What size tires(falken tires) and spacers should I get to do this? Also, does anyone know where I can find Tein SS coilovers at a good price($1200 or less)? Any help or opinions would be great. This is my second post on this site, but ive been watching all you guys for over 6 months now. I think this is the best celica site out there, and i believe this is where all the tallent is.

Yeah. IDEALLY our Celicas have flush wheels when the offset is 35, so get a 5mm spacer. As for tires, go with 225 40 (or 45) 17's. For coilovers and struts, I personally wouldn't go with Ground Control because they have a tendency to fall apart (friend's Sentra has gone through 4 pairs under street driving) however my friend told me they have some sort of warrantee, not sure on their basic coilovers. If you want a good stance without sacrificing handling I would recommend TEIN s-tech lowering springs, which will give you about 1.5" lower in the front and about 1" in the back. As for struts, many people here use KYB GR-2's, but there are also Koni Yellow's and a few other that escape me at the moment..
