a lot has to do with what springs you use to lower it, what size wheels, what size tires, ect...

since you wanted just pics and wanted to see how beautiful the celi is lowered, im gonna share my thoughts about being lowered....bump..oww...bump bump...owww son of a biatch...pothole.....yikessss....there goes a shock....mini bump...enh okay i can take this...crappy roads....good thing for performace shocks...moral of the story is be prepared to replace your shocks if you arent when you lower it. driving slow sux on bumps. but hey your car will look kewl!

these were with sprint springs which had a drop of 1.5" all around. stock wheels had cooper zx2 tires...17s are Motegi FF5 with dunlop fm sports 225/35/17 i think

hey i do miss my car being lowered.. but i dont miss the feel or the trucks blinding me with their lights.

I'm going all for the performance than looks...I know, by a recent poll that lowering spring are the way to go as far an upgrade in the suspension category...but I wanted to also see if lowering spring make our Celica's look stupid ...you know some of those Civic's that are lowered (way too much)...that looks retarded.

EDIT - here is the poll:http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=36002

18" wheels, 225/40ZR18 rubber, 25mm drop on TRD springs (ST205 is lower to start with). Monsters speed bumps, monsters everything.





17" wheels. 215/40R17 rubber I think. Full Veilside kit. 40mm (possibly more by the looks of it) drop on Spax springs. Leaves paint on speed bumps, dips in the road, kerbs....leaves green paint everywhere.

Tein S-Tech Lowering Springs.
Front - 1.4"
Rear - .9"

Handles great, bumps suck ass

Edit: 17" rims too, so that contributes to the sucky ride and good handling.
