Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Tanabe Springs

I just got Tanabe Springs lowers ther car 2.3-2.5" Any sugestions on what size "height/width" of wheel and Tire I should get.

Would 19" work Or will I regret it any rubin you think?

Merry Christmas

Also I will be getting the veilside 2 kit or the Buddy Club 2.

so wheels should go with one of these kits

19's wont fit without modification, so i would say go with 18's if you are looking for a bigger wheel.

Thanks for the info.

With that kinda drop I would suggest you go with 17's or 18's because you will definetly rub with 19's with that kinda drop plus your getting a kit so I suggest you go with smaller rims...

i have the same springs on my celica. It's dropped about 2.5 inches all around and i have teh buddy club 2 kit also. I'm running on the stock 15" rims. I make it around here if i'm careful but i know i limit myself a lot of places for being this low also. But in the end, my car looks badass.

whoa, 2.5 all around? dont you need some other suspension kits to correct the camber and/or get new shocks?

ride is superb!! It rides really smooth on stock shocks. I use to have ground controls coilovers on my Eclipse and it was so rough..but i'm surprise that these tanabes ride so smooth especially how low of a drop it is. I know a bunch of other tanabe owners say the same thing.

how much?

how much is costed me for the springs? 125 shipped brand new. I'm getting a camera soon so i'll take pics as soon as i can. But my car is really low and it looks nice but again as a warning, i'm limited to a lot of places cause of this. lol. It's worth it though.

thanks for the info brah

Yeah Thanks I would love too see some pics

Do you bottom out alot?

and what else did you have to do with the suspension in order to make it work for examle the Camber...

naw, i never bottom out. I just got a simple alignment after about three weeks after i got them put on. I had em on for about six months now and they don't give me uneven wear so my camber is good. I drive a lot too and i never burn my tires so they are doing great. Everybody thinks that 2.5 inches is low but it's really not. I think it gives you that perfect dropped look. But pics are coming guys.

Be shure to post pics on this Thread...

Thanks

Thanks...

I can't find anything on him or her when i did a search...

Some one know anything?

yeah, talk to Rycecube, he is the one he showed me them and gave me info on them.

I checked out some of his posts, thanks guys.

No prob. Can i ask if you are goign to put them on yourself or are you going to pay someone to do it?

It will be done by the local ford dealership in town, Why do you ask?

So you didn't put any camber kits on? I just ordered the springs and it should be coming in this coming Tuesday. I was worried about the camber in the back, as everyone saids that it will wear out my tires quick.

no all i did was get an alignment. Just make sure the people who do it really cares about your camber. The place where i did it does a bunch of things such as install turbos, superchargers, nitrous, run dynos, and they have this digital alignment machine. They made sure it was perfect because most places will do it just to make sure it's close not perfect. Make sure you do it at a reptuble place.

How do the ajust the camber if its a lil too much on the negitive side?

i've got the tanabe df210s as well, alignment was within stock spec still low as hell, scraped for the first time the other day at graduation but i'll get it touched up

Do you think EXEL-DL-46 will work 19x8 with (225/35/19) with The Tanabe DF 210
2-2.5 In drop???

Or should I go 18"

do ride on stock struts and shocks...if so how long do you before you will need to replace them? thinking on lowering my car...i have stock 15' rims with 205 55 15 tires... the back is higher than the front and i want to get my car the "even" look if you know what i mean.. what should i do??? will getting new springs blow out my shocks and/or struts??? thanks

i'd go with 18's over 19's anyday. and your stock struts should last about a year depending on how old they are and road conditions, but then again, you could go out the next day and blow one out.

What about tire size on the 18" Wheelz??
