I had Eiback Sportlines installed just before xmas, keeping the original shocks. Already done 400 odd miles. The ride quality is a hell of lot better than I was expecting and going arond the twisty stuff is bloody amazing! My car feels like its on rails >biggrin.gif>
Does anybody have pictures of a stock celica+ TRD springs? Also, How hard is it to change ride hight on CO's?

Looks stock kinda...If your going for anything lower...I suggest you get Intrax!

=(
Please try out JIC suspension. There are very good.

Please use the adjustables for future reference in driving.

I just put on the Eibach Sportlines along with some KYB GR-2 struts last night, and I love the way that my car handles now. I couldn't really test out the handling much because it was snowing and I didn't wanna crash, but I could definitely feel a major difference in handling(almost no body roll), and a difference in ride quality. My ride quality is actually better than stock I think(I didn't have a stock setup before so it's hard to tell though. >wink.gif>) I'm happy with the look of the drop as well. My setup was definitely worth the $420 or so that I spent, and it's not even very hard to install. >smile.gif>

Here's a couple pics:

Those pics don't really show the drop very well though, and the lighting is really really bad. The drop looks so much better in person. I'll post much better pics when I get my rims on there. My rims should be coming in early this week, and I can hardly wait! >biggrin.gif>

Also, I think that stock shocks can handle a drop from coilovers if the coilovers are good and the struts aren't too old. Mynzeyes has been running his Ground Controls on stock struts for a while without problems.

Nice one coomer!
This is the way I was planning.
I hopefully will have a set of KYB GR-2's shocks soon.
However, I'm contemplating on going with Intrax Lowering Springs just to be that little bit lower.
Having said that, I can get a damn good deal on a set of Eibach Sportlines - $185 shipped to France.
Oh the dilema!!
I think I might get those TRD springs. I want to drop it by a little and have a better ride. Plus, then I wouldn't feel like a moron if I put a trd sticker on my car or something.
