Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Hotchkis springs

well i got lots of money over christmas and was wondering how Hotchkis springs are. I know they lower about 1.5" in front and rear. How is the ride compared to other springs?

I love mine! And to be more precise it's 1-3/8 lower for the front and 1-7/8" for the back. I like them because they make the front and back for the car look more leveled. The ride is good too, pretty much and same as stock, but turn response is more precise.

got any pics of your car with the springs installed?

im selling my hotchkis springs in the near future if you'd be interested

This is my ride with hotchkis springs...I have them with Koni yellows and they are fantastic!

Can't go wrong with Hotchkiss for any suspension parts for the Celica

nice ride. I am thinking of buying them now cause them are only $127. Then later in the spring buy rims and install both at the same time. No point of installnig the springs now with stock wheels.

danny you just made me happy for the suspension and rims i have just invested in...thanks
where did you get ur struts? how much?

where can you order them from!

Bottle is selling hotchkis stuff for dirt cheap. I just recieved my springs Monday

How about compared to the Eibach pro- kit with 18s. Which is a better choice having 18s. I don't want to replace shocks yet either.

Hmmmm...$125 for used springs or $127 for brand new springs. lol. tough choice.

if you want them, get them now. they are only $127 at www.hotchkistuning.com [hotchkistuning.com]
they are regulary $150 which is still an awsome price.

dude, bottle works for titanmotorsports and none of the stuff he sells is used.

Very pleased of that bro

Unfortunately I live in Italy and things here are very expensive. I spent nearly $800 for those struts at a dealer in my town...
I know in US there are very different prices...
That's why I buy almost everything for my car in USA...even considering shipping costs it's much much cheaper.

Looks good by the way, the kit on ur car fits amazing, what color is that! You say silver, but it looks darker?

Oh yes Bro you are right.

The fact is that in Italy the things are very different.
What you call the GT here is the 143 or the VVTI,what you call the GTS here it's the TS and has about 190 HP.
This two versions have also different colors: You can have the silver only on the 143. The Ts is only like mine or carbon blue.

For example in Italy no celica can be sold in yellow or in white, and if you look the dashboard you can see that the A/C is different,you cannot have automatic gearbox,and all manuals are 6 speed.

And, as usual, it's much more expensive
