Proformance mods vs. styling mods(excessive camber, slammedness ect.) Options

[TannerEsser]

Whats peoples opinions on slammed cars? and on "cars set up for proformance", i think its all opinion if you like cars low to the ground then do it. if you want to turn you car in to a race car... then stop think about it, and then buy a car that is actually a race car. cause a toyota celica isnt really a race car

Ive told you my stance (lol no pun intended) in person.. I dont't think my 5s celi is performance oriented enough to keep it from looking how I want because it affects "performance". The 5s celi is totally a DD and therefore IMO does not need to be 100% tuned for performance..Unless you're actually racing it that is.. when I swap my 3s in, i definitely plan on raising my car to set it up for more performance.

And just before a bunch of people come in this thread with crappy spring/strut setups or lowering springs on stock struts trying to bash lowering too much with coilovers, I am telling you right now that i had lowering springs before my coilovers and even with my significant drop my car handles WAY better with the coils..

So basically for me:

7a/5s celicas = form > function for days
3s celicas = function > form with still a lot of form

Tiga, pretty sure he is talking about USDM Celicas. Im sure he knows of GT4s and rally herritage..at least I hope so!

And you wouldn't slam a rally car so that doesn't apply here..
