>Thank you very much, I understand now. But in the picture, why is the wheel so close to the coilover? And how long are the zipties recommended for? Because I don't have that much money right now
The wheel is so close to the coilover in that photo because the wheels are not the ideal offset. They are WRX offset, so they are closer to the strut than typical Celica wheels would be. They are also 8" wide, so between the offset and the width they are a tight fit. Maybe some of the other members with these coilovers can post photos of their wheel fitment, I would bet there is much more clearance than in our pics.
The zipties can stay on as long as they don't break, so basically that just means to use some high quality zipties and check to be sure they are in good shape every once in awhile and replace them when needed. The car pictured still has the zipties on and its been months, no problems and the zipties are still holding strong.
Finally, depending on how low you drop the car you will need a little or a lot of camber adjustment in the rear. I describe this earlier in the thread. On the car pictured, we used two sets of Eibach camber bolts in the rear to correct the camber. The front doesn't need camber bolts because it has camber-adjustable upper mounts built-in, which is great!
