I'm planning on lowering my celica but first i want to see how low i should go and how different rims sizes look on different drops before i start buying anything.

Please post pictures of your lowered celicas and indicate how much of a drop it is.

Thanks everyone.

There is a thread that has all you need.

I'd say go for 1-1/2"-2" drop. Make sure your offset for the rims is correct as well.

^He might want to know if those Eibach springs are "Sportlines" or the "Pro Kit"

What about adjustable coilovers? If im not mistaken you could get them with an electronic setup and adjust the height of the car before parking? I don't know of any brands or price tags for that kind of stuff but someone on here may know. Probably expensive as **** but that's something im going to consider if I decide to drop mine because there's a hell of a lot of hills and slopes in my neighborhood and don't want to be scratching it a dozen time to get to work...
