Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick. I realize it's expensive, but it's the finishing touch to justify the wheels and splitters.

FINALLY lol
I found with my tein is nice to run them with the dampners on soft, to allow the shocks to soften up a bit, then gradually increase it. (might be an idea to put some dead weight in the back) -------------------- |

(might be an idea to put some dead weight in the back) I have actually noticed my rear has got lower lately and my springs/shocks have been in for 6-12 months now, so the no weight thing probably doesn't help them sag. |

Ohhhh trust me guys. I cant wait. Going to install them this saturday with my dad. Forecast to have a few showers so fingers crossed it doesnt happen. Goal for the first scheme is two finger gap all round and see how it goes. And adjust from there.
The car is going to look so bloody gorgeous. And when im happy photoshoot time!

Haha im so happy i got a sx-r with all these additions. White gauges are definitely hot. As much i would hope its a higher redline, sadly nope its like any other 5sfe.

Okay okay, update time.
Fitted the rears in today. With about 2" drop, put the setting on medium 16 clicks. Ill do the fronts next weekend. Been busy getting wasted and had work too. Well what can i say even from just the rears. I love it, a little bumpy and i get a little sick. But i reckon i could get used to it. Did i mention the celica looks o-so much better? ill try and get pics up as no one likes to read. Cant wait for next weekend to install the fronts, and twisties here i come. -------------------- |

Is it even safe to install only on one end? I assume it creates some weird jumpyness, having the front all soft and the rear all stiff.

Im not running amuck on the street ripping it hard. Its perfectly fine imo, just got to keep a mental note i guess. Its not like the front is crazy soft and the rear crazy stiff, as my fronts arnt even close to blown. Ahh well waiting for the weekend. -------------------- |
