OK I finally got my coilovers, installed them yesterday, and took pics today.
I finally got my G4 coilovers yesterday, after a really long wait (a bunch of things like Chinese New Year stuffed things up). G4 are exactly the same as the D2 brand units, except that they are blue, not purple. I was planning to take more pics of the install but forgot and then was too dirty to want to touch my camera :\    So she got a much needed clean today and I got to take pics of the final result. She's looking sweet! Everything seems OK but I'll take it for an alignment and get them to make sure that everything is set up properly. Oh you can also see my brake calipers that I painted yelloow at Christmas time  The tyres are new also. 215/45/r17 Kumho Ecsta Sevens. They could be a little grippier but for the price they are good.     Enjoy! This post has been edited by Mangozac: Mar 27, 2008 - 5:28 PM |

I have one more question. Is there any part number or something on it? I mean every part has some special code or number to identify it self... thanks

During assembly the only parts I noticed with numbers were the springs. Got the alignment done today. I apparently had something on back to front but other than that no big issues. |

You know there is one thing confusing... in your picture are all coilovers ''the same'' (I means the same style) but every where are coilovers for front and for rear different in the picture  or other brand  so if I get it right I must be 100% sure it's for Celica 6gen w/o superstrut suspension nothing like using universal coils or coils for different models (7gen or something). -------------------- No more replicas...
