It is not too noticable in the pics, but now after a few weeks, it settled and got slightly more lower.

But I do gotta say, the ride quality is so much better than stock. Also the thing thats funny is in the top pics, look how much longer my celica looks compared to my jeep next to it:)

any comments?

[SlicKcEliGTS]

pretty clean drop man, any other plans for the car?

[hawaiianboy]

As of now, I am waiting on my turbo. And if I have the extra money after that is done, I am planning on the kaminari kit with 18 in gunmetal axis hiros. Maybe a crbon fiber hood as well.

[SlicKcEliGTS]

NICE! cant wait to see that turbo.

how much of a drop are the tokico springs?
i just bought tokico struts and tein s techs from a member here.. cant wait to put them on

[hurryhurry12345]

js a quick question. how does the springs feel? and how much is the drop for front and back?

i love the way my car sits on tein s-tech. but damn they r js too stiff for me... really, my KYBs are already set at the softest setting, well 1F/2R. i am considering a similar drop 1.5 inch all around, maybe a little higher i dont mind, but not as stiff. the upside is the car handles like a dream....too sweet. hehe.

[hawaiianboy]

the springs give about a 1.25 inch drop. one stock wheels it gave me a little less than a 2 finger gap in the rear and a 2 finger gap in the front. The ride is perfect to me, not too stiff and not to bouncy, but I also have the apr strut bar as well.

Me either. But one thing I dont want to see is the damage it will do to my wallet :chuckles: :chuckles:

I got the same setup on my gts and love it.

[jeetee-ess]

got any pics mo-town??? i'm really considering on getting this set up.

I have TRD springs and I got the tokico shocks recently and Its a tad too rough for my taste :( I thought it would be similar to stock but nope. I don't really like it :( I hate how I can feel every damn abrasion in the road.

did you get the shock used, Because my shocks feel alot better taht stock. Also I think shocks dont really make a difference, I think it is the spriungs? :headbang:

[jeetee-ess]

i just ordered this exact set and wondering how much did you spend for the installation? and is this set applicable for both gt and gt-s? is there a difference?

[dark_illusionz]

hey guys.... i'm debating whether to get this (Tokico springs/strunts) or the KYB AGX shock and a Tien s tech springs. Which one would be more comfortable??? and I know the tokico setup lowers the car 1.25" compared to 1.4 with the kybs... would it be noticable?

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

Yeah, there's no doubt the Tokoco setup is great for the $$. I've kinda 'grown out' of mine... I've been wanting something a little nicer. But for less than $400 brand-spankin-new and about 1.5" all around, you really can't beat it.

[dark_illusionz]

S|Lv3rBu||et: Do you have any pics of your drop??

Now that I've seen this thread, I'm also wondering the same..... Anyboby has a direct answer to this question? ^^^

I just got my tokico springs and struts installed this weekend. Drop is nice, I have about a 2 finger gap in the front and rear. Ride seems to be a little smoother than my stock springs/struts since I had 70xxx miles. Im putting on new wheels/tires, rotors and pads in 2 weeks.
