I was wondering if any of you REALLY know if these will hurt my suspension geometry. I'm going to be racing in STS, and the celica is going to need any little bit that helps. (2000 GTS) thanks. If you don't autocross or have no other experience on aggressive car handling I don't want to hear about how "cool" they will look. (I'm not going for looks.) thanks again

I'd be comfortable with a 1 inch drop, it's the 3 or 4 inch drops that worry me...

What else do we know about the Eibach springs? I recal seeing the spring rates a long time ago, they were stiffer than stock, but not so much that I see them as making a world of difference. Also, are they linear rate or progressive rate springs. If theya re progressive rate I would avoid them like the plague for autocross.

Myself, I've already got Koni's with stock shocks and I'm thinking STS... I'm going to call ground control and custom order a set of coilovers with longer springs and higher spring rates than their off the shelf kit. This should allow me to not lower the car so much and it will be stiff enough to be safely off the bump stops.

I think Celica RZ may have ordered his like this...
