Autocrossing and parts. Options

[7A-FEces]

Are our cars known for autocrossing? I just found a Tein suspension kit and Suspension Tech sway bar set at Nopi. Is it worth getting to make our cars handle better? I know Rally was popular with the GT-4s. Is there a big difference between the two cars suspension wise? ST vs. GT-4?

I doubt autocross will ever be truly televised. They sometimes show clips in different other shows, but thats about all there will ever be. The format just isn't interesting to most people that aren't participating.

Oh, and the runoffs aren't autocross, thats the roadracing national championship. For autocross its just the "Tirerack SCCA Solo II National Championship". What a mouthful....

Be carful comparing your buddys JICs to what we can get. There are like 6 different levels of JIC coilovers. They sell everything from cheap kits with just some shocks and adjustable perches, up to full double adjust race coilovers. But the only applications they have listed for the celica are for the lower level ones. With ground controls you can also specify your spring rate. With any other coilover setup you might be able to just buy the threaded bodies and the collars and then buy 2.5" dia race springs from Eibach for $50 a piece.

If you call JIC they might be interested in making the full adjustable shock for the 6gc. If they make one of them already it shouldn't be hard to adapt the higher end ones.
