Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior wheel gap

i have my car lowered with tein springs (1.5 inches lowered all around) with 215/35/18 tires. I can stick 3 fingers in the wheel gap. just wondering how much other ppl have there's lowered.

i was thinking bout lowering it another inch or half an inch but i don't know yet. also, i don't want to loose any driveability, bottom out, or have to change new struts every so often.

what kind of tein springs do you have?

give some time for the springs to settle if you just recently installed the springs...but imo it should look good...if you do wanna drop lower go with eibach sportlines

i've had the springs for bout 1 year now.

what kind of tein springs do you have

I have Eibach Sportlines .
So I have 1 finger gap in the rear (2.4" Drop)and 1.5 fingers in the front (1.8" Drop)...
P.S. I have 15" stock rims, but it would be the same gap with 17" rims and low profile tires.

do you ever bottom out or scrape the bottom of the car?

oh, and i don't know which kind they are, just that they have 1.5 inch drop all around. i think that they are tein something "s", i dunno.

tein only has one set of springs for the Celica.

I have VS-1 kit so my sideskirts are 4" above the ground ,But I do not scrape.
I Can't go in to some driveways but I can roll over the speedbumps w/o problem at the low speed...
