FS: (NC/SC) 94-99 Celica Shocks w/ TEIN S Tech Springs (20k miles) - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #69359 19 posts Started by upscaleauto
USDM 94-99 Toyota Celica Struts w/ TEIN S Tech Springs
Donor: 1994 Toyota Celica GT Coupe w/ 181k miles.
Wear: 20k miles. Installed at 161k. Removed at 181k.

The struts were purchased and installed at the same time as the springs and since that time, they have only seen 20k miles. Everything is in good condition and is ready to be bolted onto your 1994-1999 Celica. The front upper mounts (included) could use replacement, but aside from that everything is in great condition. The combination of these struts and springs provides a nice ride height and a sporty ride. These were never abused or driven beyond regular interstate/highway use. They were only removed so that Megan Racing Coilovers could be installed.

The TEIN S Techs typically cost about $220 new as you can see in the link. The struts were purchased at Goodyear and I cannot remember how much they were.

I would prefer to sell the strut/spring assemblies together, as pictured, but am willing to part out the springs and struts if it becomes necessary. Buying the already assembled springs/struts definitely makes installation easier, so that is something to keep in mind. Also remember that installing aftermarket springs on older struts is not a great policy as wear may be accelerated leading to premature failure of older struts.

TEIN S Tech Springs & Shocks/Struts Full Set: SOLD!

Will Consider Offers and will ship in Megan Racing coilover packaging which is very secure and double-walled. Can offer local (South Charlotte, NC area) pick-up instead of shipping to save you $30-$50 or so. Will consider trade propositions for GT4/Veilside/Vader body components (hoods, side skirts, bumpers).
Sold As-Is. I will not part out individual 'corners'. Only selling as a full set, front/rear/left/right.
What you see if what you get, hardware included as pictured!

(If anyone is interested in the Veilside style Supra sideskirts in the background, let me know!)

FYI - Megan Racing Coilovers turned out great and we put on some 17" wheels and tires and fixed up the rust spot a bit - still needs more body work and a GT4 swap though!

What brand/model are the struts?
The springs are tempting. Let me know if you part.

Unfortunately, I am not sure. They are OEM replacement struts, but since they came from Goodyear, I assume they are 'aftermarket' OEM and not genuine Toyota parts.

I am interested but I am trying to make sure I drop the celica and keep my tire size. I have 225/45R17 think they will fit?

I am not sure about this, but it should work. I put some 235's with 17" wheels on once I installed the coilovers and I have them set lower than these springs were. I just can't guarantee fitment because I never tried that specific setup.

Sale/Trade Pending!
