Well you guys may not know this but whats your racing setting (what have you head from a real celica race team) for you TRD Lowering Springs?? Camber, Toe, etc. ! EVERYTHING. I dont' need them right away but if you even got any street settings it would be fine. I can't get ahold of TRD or any type of celica race team... I will be taking this car to the track and thats why I need them. Thanx for your help in advance.

I think the autoxrs are using something like :

Camber :
Front : -1.5 to -2.0
Rear : -0.5 to -1.0
Toe
Front : 0
Rear : 0

I'm not too sure if those are right because my memory isn't the best. You should look in the autox forums. Road racing might need some toe-in for the rears. Without camber plates you'll need some crashbolts for those camber setting up front.

Pretty close.

-1.5 to -2 deg camber in front
-1 to -1.5 deg camber in the rear (less rear camber if you have less front camber)
0 toe or a little toe in in the rear.
0 toe or a little toe out in front.

By the way, a real Celica race team would not be using the TRD springs.

TRD springs are for lowering your ide and generally looking cool. For real racing you would be doubling the spring rates, and using a race spring (2.5 inch ID Eibach spring like the GC kits come with). This way, you can change to a different spring rate as a track dictates.

Or, you would be running stock, because you entered the car into a racing class that uses stock parts (SCCA Showroom Stock).
