Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Eibach Sportline Ride Height

I had my sportlines installed around november of 2004 and I gave them a lot of time for the springs to settle. Now I noticed that the rear was a little higher than the front. So I measured the fender gaps using the "how many fingers can I fit between the fender and the tire?" measurements. For the front it is about a finger-and-a-half gap and in the rear its a good 2-finger gap. To me the rear looks higher like my car's ass is in the air. I was wondering if there was any way of lowering the rear a little further to even out the ride height. Here are pics:

Here's the rear:

I want my car to have this ride height:

i have sportlines and mine are lower in the rear...i have a 1 finger gap with stock tires

my tokico kit fixed my height problem... my car looks like it has even out the front and rear

What is the "tokico kit"?

i have sportlines and i have a 1 finger in back.. and like a 1.5 finger in the front.. i think you installed ur springs wrong lol.. its supposed to be bigger gap in the front.. because it only drops the front 1.8 and the rear 2.4

um, you have stock wheels. if you get bigger wheels you will have less of a gap.

I have the tokico suspension kit... ummm look in my profile GTSdrifter

if you don't plus size you'll have less gap

just get some heavy ass subs...

^^^ haha ya a heavy ass sub box will do the trick...

i just got tokico Hp struts put on and i saw no difference in ride height but i also have tein s-tech's, not sportlines, so that might be why...

I want the rear to drop a lil more...

yeah, yours definately don't look right. Mine are noticeably lower in the back than yours. I'm assuming everything feels ok when you're driving? I'd get someone to check the install maybe?

Everything feels okay while driving but when I take the turns quickly, the rear tends to slip which caught me off guard. Everytime I take turns quickly the rear skids and you can hear my tires screeching. Think I'm gonna get it looked at soon.

Thanks for looking out
