Okay heres te situation.....i'm purchasing alot of crap for my Celica right now and DropZone coilovers are on the list.....OK
heres teh scenario....I want to instal drop zones but use stock shocks. I would want to lower it whenever I want but for the most part keep it at stock height. My question is that would it ride pretty much like before if I kept it at stock height but I have it at the same height.....what about lowering it just an inch? And what does "blowing out" the shocks mean....becasue I realyl dont wanan do that becasue im sure that Toyota wouldn't cover that under warrenty....I cant afford konis yet.....lol Please help? =) -Nate

Sounds normal to me Ray...;] Struts tend to fail after a few years of abuse... Lowering your car on the stock struts should be fine so long as you can bare the bouncy ride. It will decrease the strut life, but as Ray points out, it's not a huge major deal... the struts still should last a bit, IMO, even with coilovers slammin it. On my old celica, I had some generic coilovers on it and had it slammed 90% of the time ( over 2" drop). My stuts didn't go out until I was being dump and spun out the car at thunderhills trying to hit a turn too fast and went off the track. That was back in 2000 and I had the car lowered since I bought it, in 97. |
