Teins Installed - 6G Celicas Forums

Finally, I have had these for almost a year. The ride is not as bad
as I thought it would be. These should come stock on 6gcs. I am very
pleased with the results.

^ +1 for lowering springs and she will be perfect.

Now, its perfect. Im serious.

Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06. Suspension overhaul begins........
yup. that's the way it should look. there's way too much wheel gap on oem springs. nice pics.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

I did, and it was super easy, I didn't use a spring compresser so the fronts
popped a little when I took them apart but no big deal really. I love the way
it looks and feels when I drive. I should have done this long ago. Also thanks for
the complements, hopefully I will get the rest of my parts I already have put on
soon, and start looking for a clip around tax time.

yeah, make sure you do get an alignment soon. when i dropped my car i had to drive to san diego (about 100 miles) and back, and my front tires lost quite a bit of tread. good thing i'm getting new tires soon since i found a nail in one of my rears.

I've been driving around for almost a year with my 40 series tires but it still almost looks brand new, I have a 1.8" drop, no alignment done, steering not shaking.

I am going to get it aligned before I drive it much more. It tracks well
no pull of any kind. I also had wicked torque steer before, and it is all but gone.
I am wondering if I had a weak stock spring up front. Has anyone else experienced
this?

JDM guy made me do it.
weak stock spring, idk kinda hard to emagine that one, could have just been miss alined before and dropping it lined it up better smile.gif

anyway, looking good, I always liked that forest green. and I'm very much a fan of clean looking cars.
Looks excellent. Will them drop a little more over time? My experience with intrax is that they reached their final height after about 1 week.

Looks real good. Mud gaurds make a nice finish for lowering if your not going to get side skirts.


Actually I have my old set i need to sell if ur intrested.
