Well i've got a set of tein springs on my car, and i don't know, but im starting to get kinda tired of the ride and ride height. Anybody know of any other springs that are a little higher. I don't want to go back to the four finger gap in my wheel well, but i need something that is nice compromise...
**to all those who are thinking of buying these...im not putting em down. They're great performance wise and make the car look awesome, but for a daily commuter its a pain in the butt...literally.** Dave |

I kept bottoming out with my S-Techs when I hit a dip or pot hole... I recommend Super Streets. =)

40/17 tyres aren't suited for a lowered Celica. A 45 side is so much nicer. Now having a 35 side on 18inch rim but going for a 40 side tyre. Speedo may be off but it will be nicer on the tracks.

so cal roads suck from all the semis and big trucks tearing up the road...if you go back to stock you will like the feeling but miss the lowered look...think wisely on this...i went back to stock for a month and now im lowered again.
