Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior finally dropped my car...

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

Nice dude, get them pics up!

I <3 the Hotchkis springs, can't wait to see the install!

I'll get the pics up later tonight...it is a HUGE difference...

So if you post an install guide for those, it would pretty much be the same for kyb shock and tein s tech's right?

awesome, can't wait!

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

thread = worthless without pics

^^^^^ yeah yeah... I'll get them soon

goose...camber is fine...doesn't feel off at all... I'm gonna get it aligned later this week anyway just to make sure...

maka:... yes, when I write it up I'll make sure I throw that part in there... it is very easy

Thanks bro. cant wait. Ishould be getting my shocks and springs in a week or two.

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.

finally!

^^^ yeah for real... and eric...I kept the stock shocks for now because you don't need new ones with the hotchkis springs...
