Hey fellow 6gc'ers i have come across a brand of springs for the Celica called Nex. Now from what i have gathered they come in two optional sets. They are as described:

#1- Nex SS1 coilover: 1994-1999 Toyota Celica- $680.00
PART # SS1-TY04

RIDE HEIGHT DROP inch(Ft / Rr ): -1.5 to 3.5
SPRINGS RATE kg/mm (Ft/ Rr) :6kg/8kg

(the only problem i have with the SS1 setup is that the mount is not adjustable, only the ride height womp...)

#2 Nex GT coilover: 1994-1999 Toyota Celica- $800.00

RIDE HEIGHT DROP inch(Ft / Rr ): -1.5 to 3.5
SPRINGS RATE kg/mm (Ft/ Rr) :6kg/8kg
4 way adjustable rebound rate

(this one comes with adjustable rates, which is much more practical..)

Here is a link regarding both springs:

Im just seeing if anyone has heard anything about this company/brand, im not saying im getting them so please dont bash this thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ehhh i dunno. slightly shady.

Why do you say that?

i've heard about them but i cant tell you what people have said. I think one of the civics that rolls around my town has the SS1's but i'm not 100% on that.

They are mostly street coilovers, they can be used for some race wear here and there. Coilovers are almost all the same, the only thing that sets them apart from each other is adjustibility like damper and camber control.

Thanks for the help guys.

I did some research earlier (damping vs. non-damping) and the vibe that i am getting is, "36 way adjustable" is just a sales gimmick and not needed unless im trying to do track racing (which im not). I learned that one valving setup and damping set for one application is more than sufficient for a DD (and occasional spirited driving) like me!!

I just want to find out more information about Nex as a company before i continue with this purchase.. but as of now its looking REALLY GOOODD!!!

hey man did you get these yet? let me know how you make out with them and how you like them...im considering getting a set myself

there were a bunch of guys that got some nex coilovers for their srt4's and they didn't really think they were all that great. i also think i remember hearing that they went out of business, which means if they did go out of business, you'd have fun finding someone to rebuild them further down the line. if i were you i would save up a little more and get a nicer set that you know the company will still be around in a couple years (example tein/tanabe/kw). when it comes to coilovers, you certainly get what you pay for.
