sup guys
can anyone tell if me coilover are worth getting. Do they ride and handle better then lowering springs or the TRD springs??? if so wut are real good ones to get??
please let me know cause i am about to buy some
thnkx
IMO, if you're gonna get coilovers, spend the money and get the Ground Control, all of the cheaper coilovers are just that..cheap...if you want the drop, i'd suggest the INTRAX springs. they drop the car about 1.75" and ride like stock (i had them before my ground controls). as for the GC's, they ride very nice IMO, and i'm on stock shocks, i will be upgrading in the first of the year...

TIEN has the best system on the market right now for coil overs... they curenttly have a set for the 5th gen and I believe there is set in the make for the 6th....
newayz... the system is cab controled with 3 preset hights for the front and rear... it;s kinda nice... push a botton and the car rasies and lowers itself for u.. this would be nice if the streets are really crappy where u live..
the only down fall to this system is that it is around 1600.. but its money well spent
other wise the ground control setup would be the next best bet
99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =)
Also, would this be a good setup, KYB GR-2 Gas Shocks with the ground control coilovers, or the KYB GR-2 Gas Shocks with TRD or those other lowering springs
definitely don't get cheap coil-overs .... you'll be wasting your money ... i did, and now they're sitting in my garage, cause the car was horrible with them on ... if you're gonna spend the money, then make sure you're getting some good ones!

I second that completely. I had the "high low" ones on eBay and they were simply horrible and downright danerous. Never buy those coilovers.
New Toyota project coming soon...
how are the dropzone coilovers?
i have heard that they are pretty good, but nothing compared to ground control
if i got ground control coilovers, would i need new springs, and shocks, if so what kind you guys reccomend?
the ground control coilovers come w/ the Eibach springs. as far as shocks, the best would be KONI adjustables (about 600 dollars) but more affordable would be the KYB GR-2 shocks (about 200 dollars). i'll be getting the KYBs soon, and i have the GC coilvoers, so i'll report back how they ride.

There are quite a few our there.
There are:-
1) Tein HA
2) JIC
3) Ground Control
4) Maybe Cusco (call them)
and a few others.
It is better to go with Coilovers when you are seroius about your ride and also about ride height.
If you just want a low drop that thats it, fo with eibach and some Koni or KYB.

dude you're getting a dell
Hey, so what are the differences between springs... (i already have some Eibach sportlines) and coilovers...(maybe some ground controls) cuz they're hella more expensive then springs...
The Tien suspension HA and up cannot fit the your celica.
Please contact Tein for verification.

how are the JIC SF-1 Suspension??
is it better then average??
im confused how do you know the drop on each side is equal, and do you need a camber kit?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I plan to get the ground control coilovers but I have heard that it will damage your shocks in the long run. People say that when you get coilovers you must replace your shocks in about 1-2 years? Is this true? Can I just change to coilovers and leave the factory shocks on? Also won't the tires be tilted? I think thats when the camber kit needs to installed correct?

Yes, you' need to upgrade your shox i'd recommend koni's if u have $$$
Can I just change to coilovers and leave the factory shocks on?
Yes i think Myzn have GC and have factory shox and i think his car is lowered about 2"
Also won't the tires be tilted? I think thats when the camber kit needs to installed correct?
NO
Oh mynz where did you buy your GC anyways and how much ?
