Alright so I just scored a job at UPS about a month ago. Money's coming in..I have no expenses so what the hell right. Planning an engine swap, but that's months and months away. So I wanna upgrade the handling of my Celica. I'm workin on some Konig 17x7s and Tein springs. I was gonna replace the shocks also, since the mileage is getting up there. What are some well riding shock options? Also...What other upgrades (sway bars, bushings, etc.) are out there? What have ya'll found?

QUOTE(Celiracer18 @ Oct 28, 2006 - 9:38 AM) [snapback]497028[/snapback] John, post up the new pics PLEASE This is not the design I made, but the guys in the shop messed up on welding the stands onto the rings. They welded them on upside down, so I had to have them cut them even with the edge of the ring. I wanted them to stick out over the edge a little, and taper up to a point. That way, the bar would not cover the nut. The stands are 7GA. steel (approx. 3/16"). The 10GA. rings are approx. 1/8":    After that, I had a cross bar made, 10GA. steel x 2" wide x 40" long. The center 20" is straight, with the 10" on each end bent approx 1/4" to 1/2" down:   I'll post more later. This project is approx. 99% finished, and I am VERY happy with the outcome. -John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes
