New coilovers - 6G Celicas Forums

I bloody hope so laugh.gif
Ordered a set of coilovers through the GT4OC in August last year on a group buy basis (we had to get 15 people to pay up front before the manufacturing company in Japan would re-tool the machines to make the suspension for our cars). After 7 months (I kid you not rolleyes.gif ) the dude from Amtrak brings me a nice box of goodies via a very slow boat from Japan.
Handeling is fine atm but cant help but think the current 12 year old springs and dampers will be feeling signs of age kindasad.gif

Mmmm blooooo!

The knurled collar can be fitted to allows a 30 degree "click" adjustment to get the adjustment in the same place between pairs then this can be removed for fine tuning.

Front camber adjustment is on a variable adjuster whereas the rears have a choice of 3 fixed settings.

Was wondering the same thing. Those look sweet. I want some.

Not sure if the rears would fit a regular 6gc due to it being for awd but the fronts should fit a superstrut equiped SSIII.
We got the plant to retool the machines to get these made so was a limited run, not sure if they ever have made them for the regular 6gc.
