I got my springs made by a company called Valley Springs up in NorCal.. Dixon, CA to be exact. I was told that they made the springs for the Pike's Peak Celica... but I don't know if this is true... I did this back in 95 or 96... can't remember exactly when. I asked them to make my drop 1.5" because at the time, the lowest available was 1.25 and I didn't want to go lower for the following reasons: 1. I knew I was gonna get a body kit and I didn't want to scrape over every speed bump. 2. I didn't feel like spending another $800 on shocks... I spent about $180 for the 2 front springs... I think... can't remember... it's been too long... |
