Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance do i need some springs?

Hey, im wondering if you think i need some springs for my car.. and how many inches if you think so... Also, does a APR strut bar help any? because i have gotten a lot of no's and yes's...

heres another picture.. a close up of the tire

you got stock springs on there? if you do get springs i wouldnt go more than an inch if i were you.

yeah they are stock.. and i have 17"s... and a lip kit.. so i guess it makes it lower ...

i think it looks good now from that angle, i wouldnt go too low tho could be deadly

i think it might just be that angle... the gap where the tire is.. is huge..

looks good to me. toubt want to mess up the nice lip i love that kit btw. Thinking of getting it myself. I'd say stick with waht you got

Definately lower it, but do it conservatively, no more than 1.5"

go with hotchkis springs...you can do them without having to replace the struts... and they go for like $135

go with Tein S-Techs 1.4in drop all around, perfect for 17's and a kit

thats exactly what i have... tein s-techs are awesome with my 17's!

Or you could go with the H-Techs i believe they lower about .8 inches

Regarding the front strut bar:

Search the site, 'cause it's been asked many times before. Basically, it both hurts and helps; it will make the car's chassis stiffer in turns and give it a little sharper cornering, but it also increases the tendency for the car to understeer. You may want to think about a rear strut bar instead.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that understeer comes only because you go through the corners faster..
I have a tanabe strut tower bar and a cusco lower arm bar and I love them...of course I have also the TRD 3 points rear bar...

i suggest just getting TRD springs to close the gap a little and yea get the APR strut

What lip kit is that?
