found a set of these Blitz Coilovers what the hell do these go on, the McPherson or Superstrut ST202 I call BS!!

And then I found these Tein Mcpherson Coilovers for $810 plus another $300 for shipping to California, pretty cheap huh.

Hmm, i wouldnt worry about them being on that list BonzaiCelica. That thing is kinda old, and half of those products are discontinued while other "new" products have been springing up lately.
Anwyho, OP how is yoru setup holding up. Its been a few months since you first posted this thread, and im wondering if you have made any progress with your suspension.

if you can somehow fit the Tein EDFC controller on the Tein coils then that would be the best

Y'know, it really is a shame that the Celica doesn't have much aftermarket support. I really hadn't noticed before I started researching for a Miata, and it has so much more product support it's not even funny. Raceland coilovers, which are pretty decent, for $300. Nothing like that for the Celica.

Thats true that hondas have alots of aftermarket support. But does that mean the aftermarket parts actually help improve what it wants to achieve and by how much?. Sure they have a million different brands that make carbon fibre cai intakes and front lips, and c piller bars right down the full off the shelf exhausts and manifolds. And all this aftermarket sparkplug wires and breaks bar.
And sure you will have a long mod list, but how much of that actually improve the car and by how much. Im quite thankful we dont have that much aftermarket support, cmon guys we would be bloody broke and wont be able to save up for the 3sgte. And thats one thing honda doesnt have a stock turbo engine that they can drop right in. And the 3sgte has plenty of aftermarket support just that its not cheap.

Celica = Rare!!
Honda = Commonly seen every 30 sec on the streets
If toyota would of brought the 3S-GE engines to the U.S. our aftermarket support would be close to that of Honda's

they look (except swap red with gold) and their specs read almost the same as BC racing coilovers, even the knob on top for the damper level and the camber adjustable front top mounts, wonder if this is the company that BC racing build parts for?

I need help. Can anyone tell me where i can find a reliable source on purchasing MEGAN coilovers? I've decided to go for those. But I want to find a site that will guarantee to have it in stock and deliver. I hate ordering from sites where after you pay they end up telling you that they dont have it in stock and they have to order it and then you end up waiting 7-8 weeks to get it.. right now im having my eyes set on this

Pretty sure upscale auto said they got some more in stock.

lol the BC? i still dont know how its stats are compared to the megans. im just going for the megans because i noticed they give a nice drop, ive gotten much more detailed descriptions over it, and their easier to afford. i havent heard anything bad about em either. haha. i was also considering koni yellows with ground controls, but megan was still the most affordable for me..btw whatthe do you have a camber kit or camber bolts on your setup? is it absolutely necessary to have it when you lower your car?

Not really, its not the best for your tyres or unless your a track freak and want "X" degree camber front and rear. I dont have it and running something like -3 at rear and -1.3 at front. Fronts are adjustable to some extent.
[b]My Build Thread|Flickr|My Blog
i'm using BC's, i fitted rear camber adjuster bolts as it was -3 camber at the rear meant it was really twitchy at high speed especially on uneven road so now running -1.5, also running -0.5 at the front on the adjustable top mounts, you do get a bit of adjustment at the hubs as well due to the oversize holes
