I have seen Vogtland lowered Celica before and they definitely look lower than that. Give it some time and it should settle.

it seem to me just nose is dropped 35mm, rear must be less... (and it looks good IMHO)
No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________

Maybe your stock springs were already sagging, and you didnt notice the new springs because the old ones were sagging?

That looks slammed compared to stock, at least in the front.

If you were in the US I would give you $100 for the springs to bail you out smile.gif


Other than the drop, how do the springs ride? I am interested in the Vogtlands, but I want a comfortable ride. Was going to go with Eibach Pro-Kits because they have a smaller drop(my rear is already low at stock).

Maybe my stock springs are sagging as one of the other members suggested.

eheheh, but I'm in ITALY! tongue.gif

I have compared the measures with another CELICA with Eibach Pro Kit Springs
In the rear Mine are more drop of 6mm (0,23 Inch), in the Front Mine are less drop of 5mm (0,19 inch)..

My ride, with the new VOGTLAND springs and with suspension regenerated and +40% hardened are very hard and reliable...but it has maintained a very good Comfort...If I can they give a opinion to you: Take them Springs....

Have you been able to compare ride comfort between the eibach pro kit and vogtland?

thanks!

Yes, because it's my Girl's Car and often I drive it..... but there is a little difference, I have VOGTLAND Springs with STOCK Suspension (regenerated--->like NEW Suspension +40% hard)..... she have a Celica with Eibach ProKit with Monroe Suspension with a many kilometers...

the Celica with Eibach Prokits it's more comfortable and less hard....but I think it depends on the used suspensions ...

I have the pictures: (mine is BLACK! tongue.gif biggrin.gif )

Both cars look beautiful. Is your girl's car an ST as well(i.e. same weight engine)?

When you say "+40% hardenend", is that an adjustment you can make on the STOCK suspension? Could the suspension be less hardened, or is this a function of the SPRINGS?

I see that your girl's car has thicker tires, this may also be a factor in ride comfort...

It's an adjustment on the STOCK Suspension, regenerated with a modification of hardness...

iv been trying and just about to buy some springs for my car...i dont have the money to get coilovers otherwise i would but iv been looking at the eibach 1.5" and im scared to get them because i dont think that it will get rid of my HUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEE wheelgap ..now if i were just to buy coilovers with and use with stock struts and shocks is that a bad idea?
soven

just look at all the other cars that are lowered and you will see that the wheelgap is eliminated nicely with tein, eibach etc. I wouldnt touch cheap coilovers.
