Springs.. need help on selection....

[LEDmod]

I'm gona get some spring.. but getting more confused by the minute..

I've seen some post about springs.. but I don't have much money to send alot......
Couple of springs I'm interested in are..

Sprint.. cheap... 160 at the store... (2" drop)
Skunk2 (I've heard this is good company).. on the web 185...
Want some opinions on this one.. (2.25" front 2.50" back)
Sportline... 220 at the store (1.8 front 2.4 back)

What are some decent spring with cheap price....??
Tell me some other springs for recommandation..

a lot of people seem to like the Hotchkis Springs.. i think 1.5 in front 1.7 in back .. check the sponsers for that

TRD has the smallest drop .. i think like 1.25 all around ... (eibach pro-kit .. i think thats the name ... is the same thing from what i've read)

Eibach sportline ... are low .. like 1.8 in front 2 something in back ... something like that ...

HKS has springs too ... they aren't too low .. i think pokgai has them... probably like 1.5 around too

H&R has a 1.5 drop all around

B&G has a 1.6 drop all around <-- the ones that i'm getting on thursday

all these are about 200 dollars + or minus 50 dollars

then you got all the coilover which plan to spend like 1000 on

Anyone like Skunk2??
I like the drop 2.25/2.5 which what I'm looking for but I haven't heard anything about this spring....
They recently made this spring, what I've heard...

I'm looking for 2" or more drop.....

Skunk 2's are a coilover setup --- You would be wise to invest in a set of decent aftermarket shocks if you go to this route, Also --- the drop they say is the coilover pretty much at it's lowest point --- they don't tell you that the vehicle will be pretty much impossible to drive on a daily basis this low. You will also need some camber links to correct the negative camber in the back --- That's about $240 (for the Hotchkis). I'd say your safest bet is to go with some Eibach's --- pro line (small drop - no camber links required) Sportline (nice drop --- probably gonna need some camber links)

I got H&R's and I love them, they have a perfect drop in my opinion, they keep the car high enough that you dont scrape too often, but low enough that it looks nice...you just gotto give it a little while for them to settle out. Hope that helps!

Go with the Hotchkis springs, you won't regret it.

Skunk2 makes Lowering spring for new Celica...
Check out www.skunk2.com
"Toyota Celica 2000-up 519-08-1590 $225.50 "
I can't afford coil over ( later on I'm going totally for Hotchkis set up) for now I just need the look of lower without loosing arms and leg...

As I said above 2.25 in front and 2.5 in back..
Can I be able to adjust camber using stock camber??
Or adjust with out needing a camber kit??

I personally wouldn't go any lower than 2". I've got the sportlines and i love em, but it is very easy to scrap. Especially over speed bumps and stuff. Or if i go up something pretty steep my exhaust drags the ground sometimes. Just my .02

Friend of mine has Integra with 2.25 drop... doesn't scrap unless you aren't careful.... he used to have 3.25 drop before... then he scrap alot.... but he just told me if I'm careful I won't rarely scrap..
Thanks for your info.....

[coOOlcelica]
