Hey i got an idea that i want to throw out there. I have a set of coilovers that i havent been able to sell. One of the problems with the coils is that i didnt like the mad bouncing that was produced in the front of the vechile, but i love the drop and the agressive stance it gave the celica. So heres my proposal, i know the ride height is diffrent in the back of the car than in the front, So what if you combine tein lowering springs up front with adjustable coils in the back? Benefit, Stiffness of spring ride with 50% adjustability? i dont know if other people had problems with the coilovers, but i know when they were on my car i felt most of the bouncing came from the front of car? So its just an idea, tell me what you think?

I though on a FWD car you wanted to have adjustability on the front on the car, not on the back.


in any car you want adjust ability in all 4 corners.... negative effects from an adjustable coilover system are normally user error (and by adjustable coilover system i mean, something like TEIN SS, Bilstein PSS10s, NOT a slide over like ground control or arospeeds)

if you have a slip over type coilover on OEM/GR2 shocks....well ride quality sucks cause you aren't using the correct shocks.
