As some of you know, I own (as a daily driver) a 1994. ST...modded a car a lot, but since there are not enough holeless roads in HR, I decided not to go too low, or too hard with the suspension (finding a parking place is hard enough as it is
Anyway, the suspension consists of Kayaba AGX (hardness) adjustable shocks, and APEX springs (which lowered the car approx. 2,5 centimeters (even though there was a promise of 3,5 cemtimeters written on the box). Since the complete suspension setup (shocks+springs) is just a few months old, changing the shocks is NOT an option...since the handling is really extraordinary, and the ride comfort is not completely ruined, but springs are something that Iīd gladly replace with Eibach or something... ...so...a million dollar question; Would a different set of springs solve the problem? While answering, keep in mind that I donīt want my Celica to drop exactly to the ground...I just need to drop a centimeter or two more than it has dropped with this setup... Thanks a bunch! -------------------- ![]() Another proud 6G Celica owner! |

your drop is fine bro... but if your wanting to drop even more. i suggest you take out the cash and invest in adjustable coilovers. although i know you dont want to rid of your "new" shocks.
in relation to your question, no sport springs really drop the car low low. they are usually set cm's/inch's, usually not even going as low as they are stated. springs settle in after some considerable time. but going lower and with springs settling you'll be losing your ride comfortability. another factor to consider is your riding with 18's and 35 profile tyres. they are a more bumpier ride. lol hope this makes you think -R -------------------- ROM-23L 67 + 76 = 143
