After two years on the Tein S-Tech springs, the shocks on our car are rattling like a mofo going over bumps now. I initially thought it was a tie rod end or a ball joint, but I had the car on a lift and everything checked out fine. Anyway.....
I was initially going to go with Bilstein shocks/struts, but they're only available in the touring for stock ride height. So I'm back to the drawing board here. I'm looking for a performance minded shock that's meant for lowered cars, and I'm not coming up with a whole lot. Coil Overs are NOT an option right now. Too much money. So, what are you guys using? -------------------- |

whether or not you have rebuildables, I'd get the sealed struts anyway. It's only a couple bucks more and it makes the install so much easier. I got the rebuildable ones for the front and sealed for the back (all celicas need the sealed for the back), and it was a lot less messy to just put a whole new shock on rather than try to dissassemble it, put more fluid in, clean up all the fluid that spilled, etc. I'd say it's worth the extra $15 or $20 it is to get the sealed ones on the front.
