HOORAY...I did it in 5 hours over the weekend without ever having done spring work before on a celica before... it was SOOOOO easy... I dropped the celica on Hotchkis springs and now there is very very little fender gap...it rides smoother than stock, and the handling is improved beyond comparison... no body roll at all... I didn't even use an impact wrench or air tools, and everything came out perfect without any hiccups or squeeks or creaks from the suspension reassembly... I'll post pics later as I'm at work and my camera went out before I could finish things up... I'm also gonna write up an install guide over the next week so that people don't have to keep asking questions about this kind of thing

How did the camber turn out? Were you able to get it back to near stock settings? I plan on Hotchkis springs in the spring. Can't wait to see the pics

What kind of shocks did you get? And I don't think this thread is worthless without pics. We know what your car looks like and we have seen lowered Celicas before.
