Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior lowerin a GT...

let say i have a VS kit ... and i wanna lower my GT a BIT but not too much (afraid of scratches) ... wat suspension / spring should i get and ... stuff regarding it ~

TRD springs would be the safe bet... but it doesn't "even the car out" like some brands, because it's an even drop in front and back.

oh ... so if i want more drop in front then ... not TRD eh ? suggestions plz ?

Eibach Pro-kit.

never heard of it ~

Tein S-tech springs...1.4in, not too low, not too high, a good drop for a celica with a kit

Eibach Pro or TRD - basically the same drop... I chose the latter because I like the aggressive stance but still needed ground clearance

eibach pro or TRD

IMO, the kit will get scratched up no matter what springs your on. Rockchips alone will jack it up. So why waste your money on springs that do next to nothing for the look of the car.

When I was stock I parked side by side with a GTS that had TRD springs, you could hardly tell he was lower.

Stay stock or go at least 1.5" to 2" lower. Tanabe, Tein, Tokico, for a few brand names.

go with tein s tech, you won't be disappointed

TRD! I hear if your drop your ride too much you have to get new shocks faster...the TRD spring lower the car but not the life of the shocks.

i think its still gonna scratch

accordin tat ... i dun think i want either TRD or Eibach Pro ... Eibach DOES HAVE many suspensions tho ... quality looks fine (price prolly high too ) plz check out my other post regardin the types of suspension it has:

thx for the supportin a noob

I have a GT and im puttin Eibach pro kit in this week. its a 1.2" in the front and 1.1" in the back. You should have got springs first b/c they can shave your body kit so its going to give you clearnce. Either way get eibach pro. dont get a shitty brand.. you get what you pay for...

oh ... tat's another question tat i have ... do i put kit on before springs or the other way ?

It doesn't matter.

1 - drop
2 - rims
3 - kit

thx ~

hey just bought drops on here, eibach's, 2" for my gt, i got 17's on the car, 205/40/17 tires, and i have a buddy club kit being done right now, just wanted to make sure id have enough ground clearance... felt that this was appropriate to post in i have a lot of room right now so i dont think it'll hurt but a second opinion would be delicious

to have an idea of how much room here's a pic check out my old thread https://celicahobby.com/ubbthrea...7485&Forum=,,All_Forums,,&Words=&Searchpage=1&Limit=50&Main=1869967484&Search=true&where=&Name=2534&daterange=&newerval=&newertype=&olderval=&oldertype=&bodyprev=1#Post1869967485
