Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior early b-day present...need help to decide what to do.

Ok. I got like $500 total from my entire family for my b-day. I was just going to get springs and camber links. Now i am thinking about getting the bomex body kit. It will only be $583 shipped from hopupracing.com . So basically i will only pay $83 for the kit.

plus 600 for paint.

I still save $500 for the kit. smart ass

get what you want

yea, i have no clue. i really love this kit. so i think i might get it.

Lower that beast IMO...

well, it the bomex kit authentic? i never knew an authentic bomex kit was worth around $500, which is a great price

but, will additional costs of install and paint, i'd go with a suspension upgrade

think of it like this. if you get the kit, it will look cool, right? but it would look better with a drop. if you get the drop now, it will still look cool stock. then, when you get the kit eventually, it will look great from the start. thus your car looks awesome for longer.

^^ never thought of it like that. lol. should i get hotchkis springs or Tanabe superdowns? And i sent an e-mail to monkeywrenchracing about Tanabe superdown prices for the celica. They have them for the MR-S for $109 not sure if they sell them for the celica. but i will let you guys know..cause that is a great price.

I wouldn't get the Hotchkis springs unless you're willing to pay a whole lot of money for proper shocks. Most won't be able to handle a drop like the hotchkis for very long from what I've heard.

Of course, that's not from personal experience. I bought hotchkis springs and haven't been able to put them on. If you're interested in them let me know

I've decided to get the tokico hp shock/spring package myself.

Like i said... drop it.

I have the tokico hp shock/spring package and it was $500. This suspension kit is great.

i have tokico shocks and hotchkis springs, love the drop and the ride. the bad thing is the camber of the rear wheels

^^^ you need the hotchkis rear camber links. Why would hotchkis make springs that don't allow for any shocks to fit? I mean look at silver00gts he has tokico shocks with the hotchkis springs.

Yea, go to www.hopupracing.com [hopupracing.com]

well. I ordered the hotchkis springs tonight. got them from monkeywrenchracing.com. i didn't get anything else yet. I want to get them installed and see how everything is first hand.

is the BOMEX Celica ZZT230 Front Bumper Spoiler Toyota Celica on www.hopupracing.com [hopupracing.com] the front bumper or the splitter?

its both.

woohoo! the springs came in the mail today! cant wait to install them.

sweet, post pics when you get it all installed!!!
