i might as well throw this in here..ive always been curious..i got sportlines earlier this year and its about time to change my shocks..stock ones are going to shits..so, since there are no shocks for the celica that are made to handle a 2" drop, how long would kyb agx shocks last? because if im going to have to change shocks every year and a half due to the sportlines then im probably better off getting some coilovers or getting different springs.

Go with Hotchkis springs. Drops 1.5 in the front and 2.0 in the rear. The extra drop in the rear levels the Celi out from the "jacked up" look it normally has. They weren't hard to install either; I put them on by myself over Thanksgiving holiday. Only took about 4 hours - 1 per wheel.
