Hey everyone I have a 00 Celica GTS and I finally saved up some money to get it dropped. I picked out my shocks and everything but I'm not sure whether I should put 1.4 inch or .8 inch springs. Can anyone help me out? Some pictures would be really helpful!

I think he's trying to decide between the S.Techs and the H.Techs. The H.Techs are advertised as 0.8"
Since you are upgrading the shocks (and maybe even if you use stock ones) the 1.4" S.Techs will be fine. The spring rates aren't that high. 168F/224R
Has anyone used the H.Techs and seen a real difference from stock?

ya im trying to decide between the H and S. I'm just considering the H because I live in chicago and i dont want pot holes to be a problem. But I'm not sure how low the S springs actually make the celica... anyone have some more pics? thanks

Just get the S-techs, they aren't that much stiffer than stock springs, so the ride is pretty much stock like. here's a picture of mine with s-tech's.
