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

Your car only handles better with the coils than when you did the springs because you weren't running the correct struts. Get real struts to match those lower and stiffer springs and then talk about the difference. My Koni's can and do handle just as good, if not better than most of the coilovers under $1,200 on the market. Yeah, I'm not as low, but I am as low as my car will go without destroying camber with this setup. You can only fit a half finger between my tire and the wheel well which is low enough for this car for me.

That being said, I do like slammed cars. I drool over Euro sparklers (Euro cars slammed so low they shoot up sparks) and would love to slam an old Corona that my customer is trying to get rid of. However, bags do nothing for performance (Please learn to spell that word because when you say things like "proformance," it makes you look ignorant) and the only proper way to slam a car and maintain the correct cornering ability is to use coils.

I know guys that will cut sway bars out just so they can slam their car as low as it can go. They have fun creeping down streets... but that's not what the Celica was intended for. It's not a creeper, it's designed to take corners at high rates of speed.

If you care about the pony's out of the engine and you think that is the only way to run a race, you need to stop watching "Fast and Furious" and actually sit in a properly tuned, neutral powered car as it tackles a technical course.

This = Beautiful

A celica id designed for getting to point A to point B. idk how many cars you have driven but if you think your celica is made to take corners at a high rate of speed, consider that it is a front wheel drive car that tends to get A LOT of under steer. so go ahead and drive strait into a wall. or pray you don't hit a good bump on a turn cause bump steer will kick in and your car will turn a random direction. so hold on to your wallet chain tight cause it doesn't feel good to hit a wall at "high rates of speed". ass. PROFORMANCE
