I have never gone far in my celica since I dropped it...Would it be okay if I travel like 4 hours there and back if my Celi is dropped 1.5" front and 1.5" back? Will I cause any damage to my ride?

I have the Tein HA's on my celi, and travel from south to north cali (almost 400 miles) seasonally and have had no problems. You'll be fine.

People have told me to raise my car b4 traveling...Just want to know the consequences if I dont raise it. I will be traveling only 300 miles but just want to make sure that it will be fine to drive my car there.

The only time we raise my wife's car, '93 325i with H&R coil-overs, is in the winter so we're not acting as a snow-plow. We've put close to 40,000 miles on the coil-overs with no problems.

It could cause uneven tire wear if you dont have proper alignment and would be traveling very far or are carrying a lot of cargo thus increasing negative camber and again traveling very far. In your case it will cause no more damage than 4 hours of normal driving.

Damn this one was dug out of the grave. Look at when I posted. Over a year ago. And YES I do have real coilovers.
