Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior eibach sportlines

anyonme have trouble with bumps and stuff with the eicbach sportlines becuase i kno they have a very low drop, 1.8 front 2.4 rear and anyone that have them have any pics?

no problems.. for the most part i can take a bump going straight.. only some BIG ones i have to angle.. but yea just go slow and you'll do fine!

heres a good pic of my drop

tru. its looks like a nice drop

although we both have kits, here is stock (red) and sportlines (silver)...

what about KYB-AGX with the Eibach sportlines?do you think this is a good combo?

did you guys need to install camber links for them???

i have this combination. the ride is a little rough but i have no problems with clearance and the look is niice.

The Sportlines will rape the AGXs. The AGXs were only made for 1.5" drop max (stated on their warranty card), and the Sportlines go way below that (1.8" F / 2.4" R). You'll be replacing struts every year or two because of this (depending on how much you drive and the type of roads).

I have Koni yellows with my sportlines, 2 years later and no problems.

they don't really drop the rear that much, more around two inch or maybe even less. one of the mods here measured the before and after and said it was a two inch drop all around.

what brand / model would you recommend then?

i wish they were lower... could be an inch lower and i wouldnt mind

Tein H-Tech (.9")
Eibach Pro Kit (1.2")
TRD (1.25")
H&R (1.3")
Tein S-Tech (1.4")
C-One (1.4"; most likely rebadged Tein S-Tech)

oh, i meant shocks because i really like the drop of the sportlines.

Then you only have one option: custom struts. No company makes struts for the Celica that are made specifically for low drops. Koni makes custom struts and is a reputable brand who also makes OEM height struts for the Celica, so you might want to contact them about it.

i really wish the front was lower on my sportlines.. i can still fit 2 fingers in there... but the back i can fit 1

so basicallly no struts go with the sportlines..that sux, i am still on my stock struts and i havnt had a problem yet but then agian its only been like 4 months...about how long should they last if they are still oem and its an 01 and in on about 67000 miles? and basically without going custom, what struts are the best for the sportline drop?

Any strut will wear pretty evenly, but the adjustable ones will wear faster the stiffer you set them. They'll last around a year or so, depending on how often the car is driven, how hard you drive the car, and what kind of roads you drive on. The less hard bumps and bottoming out there is, the longer they'll last. GTSnut from New[b][/b]Celica.org went through some Tokico struts in a matter of months with the Sportlines.

my sportlines have raped my stock struts, im upgrading to KYB GR2 's they said they are made for lowered cars... anyone know if there good?

The GR-2s are also for stock height. They're the same as the TRD struts. How long did you have the Sportlines on your stock struts before they started to die?

im still on stock struts.. with sportlines with 65k miles.. they seem just fine.

I'm on Sportlines with stock struts right now with about 65,00 miles. Had the springs for about a year and a half. They NEED to be replaced badly. I was looking at GR-2's also.

I let my buddy drive my car and I drove his to see how they look and the rear tires were actually coming off hte ground a bit over bigger bumps!!! That can't be good.
And the ride is very bouncy which makes me nervous sometimes.
Getting new struts this week!!

do skunk2's drop the car more than sportlines? because im lookin for somethin a little lower than sportlines

I had my stock struts for about a year and a half and they started getting bad.
