Eibach sportline - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #15830 11 posts Started by hs2g
hey guys, I would like to install the Eibach sportline onto my 97 celica GT. They will lower my car 1.5 inches. Is that too low or should I just get the pro kit and lower it 1 inch. I'm planning on putting 17' rims later on. Just wanted to make sure it won't rub.

How low did you guys lower your cars?
1.5 will be fine with 17's i that is about how much mine dropped and i have 17's i could even go lower or bigger rims....
trust me, you dont want anything but the sportlines. they give you a perfect hight, also, I relly wouldnt go any bigger then 16's ... but thats my tatse, I think 17's will just be to big, also will slow your car down a good amount
there are actually ALOT of people on this site runnin the sportlines with 17's...i am one...you can check the profile for pic... >wink.gif>

how much do 17' rims actually slow your car down compared to the stock 15's?
i have Eibach sportline on my 94 GT. dropped 1.5" and i use 16" 7th gen rims. I need new yokohama tires though.... i think 17's would slow down your car alittle.. i prefer 16's.
