Installed new suspension **Pics added**, Megan Racing lowering springs with GR-2s Options

[flyinglizard]

Just installed this setup with the help of a buddy on friday. Here are my impressions:

The ride is now VERY harsh. Way firmer than stock. Normally I am tolerant of firm suspension, but just driving to the grocery store kills my back. Everyone who has ridden in the car thus far complains

The car is only about 0.5 inches lower all around as of today. I'm assuming there is a break in period for new springs to settle.

The car feels much tighter and more responsive, at the cost of ride quality of course.

Thanks for the advice

When I am done with school I have pretty big plans for my car, and will probably end up putting as much money into it as you have.

I disagree with you about the 6gc being nicer than alot of newer cars. There are dozens of cars I would rather have (if I had the money for a car over $5k) but I love my celica and it looks like a million bucks since it is in pretty much perfect condition, almost straight off the showroom floor (that's what happens when you buy a car from an old lady who kept it in her garage and had not driven it for 4 years. arthritis + stickshift = no go). I do respect your opinion though, seeing as you have one of the nicest cars on the site.

Right now though I am just trying to get by and survive, while still having a pretty good car. When it has a 3mz-fe under the hood hopefully it will be a great car. :]
