Suspension Suggestions/ Help - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #45284 7 posts Started by Smitty2145
I have been purchasing some suspension components over the last few weeks, tell me what you think of the set-up and please feel free to give me suggestions.

KYB Gr-2 Gas Shocks/ Struts

Tanabe DF210 (drop springs)

St185 Performance sway bar links

Suspension Techniques Rear Sway bar

Neon Front Strut Bar
The GR-2s are basically a stock replacement. Not much of an upgrade, but a little. They probably won't last as long as you'd like them too if its dropped. They'll work for now, but the KYB AGX shocks are a little better suited for dropping purposes because you can adjust the firmness on the AGXs.
neon strut bar wont do anything too, get a 3 point brace

Yes it will, just pare it with the stock GT brace that mounts to the firewall. I didn't know the st185 end links would help, or fit. You might get a little more understeer than best performing with only the rear sway bar, but that depends on what you like.

I'm pretty sure all GT's before 1998 did, so that's why you don't have one wink.gif
i have close to the same setup, the same springs, sways and cheepo front strut bar.... you definitely want to get that front sway bar.. i was on just the rear for a while and noticed a huge change when i got the front on.. if you are looking for an adjustible shock i hear good things about the koni yellow's, the kyb's are pretty much just an oem replacement
