I love these springs. I also have KYB AGX struts and the ride is phenominal. My car has 225/40/18 tires and do not rub w/ this drop.

i love showing off my hubcapped Celica. i think it gives a better idea of how low it would be with stock hubcaps and work your way up :gap: but i need better pics...

At USF, the speed bumps are ridiculously big and high, im positive there bigger then your drive way and i make them fine withouteven taking it at an angle, i luv these springs too, its not too high not to low, perfect if your adding a bodykit later or already have one

yes i do.

Those of you on stock struts with these springs, how is the ride, there is no ricer bounce is there?

Nope no bounce only over "wavy" roads. not too stiff or soft, just right. ^^^r u gonna get some rims?

nope, i think the stock hubcaps flow nicely with my setup. HAH! Im torn btwn Axis Hiros and 5zigen fn01r-c's.

you have the TRD kit, you dont have anything to worry about if you drop it using the tein s.techs.

the TRD front is actually one of the highest fronts for the celica (higher than the stock front bumper)

09-20-2005, 07:59 PM
oh ok well thanks man

09-20-2005, 08:04 PM
So u can see the hump in that pic so if i hit that at an angle with tein u think i would be fine

U should have no problem at all man, TRD front bumper could pretty much clear a mountain.

you can clear that hump, easily.

im dropped 1.8" with the stock bumper and ive never scrapped on anything.

i mean using common sense, go at things at and angle, ive seen people circle around a whole colesack just to get inot their driveway without scraping.

youll be fine.

you could also add a little bit on concrete to the end of your driveway.

Thats a 'major hump'? That's just a normal curb around here. Major humps are the 6in high speed bumps

My bad that "MAJOR HUMP" is 5 and 7/8ths of an inch sorry i just went out and measured. I guess that 1/8th of an inch makes a huge difference. So please dont comment if you not gonna comment about the question i just asked.

Now for someone that has these do you think you would have a problem going up a driveway where just the hump at the bottom is 5 and 7/8ths of an inch tall with the TRD front. Thanks
