I Have a 2000 GTS and I was wondering how these springs perform? I am planning on going with some 18" wheels later. Does anyone have any pictures of their ride with these springs? If so, please PM me some pics! Also will the stock shocks hold up with these springs because I know the drop isnt too major. Thanks!

I think it was something like 1.5" drop. How many miles on the chassis?

i have eiback pro kit with stock toyota shocks. they ride fine for me. a bit firmer than stock springs and a lot better handling in my opinion.

REALLY? Nice! Yeah the stock rides a little bouncy. Will my camber/Alingnment be ok?

Does any one have pics of their Celica with these on??? Thanks!!!

This was my set up before I sold it, Eibach pro-kit springs, KYB GR-2 struts, 18x7.5 rim, 225/40/18 tire size. The shop that installed my springs said my stock shocks were blown so I was forced to purchase new struts anyways. Eibach advertised that the springs were engineered to work with stock struts, only if they were not blown. But even lowering the car can wear out your stock struts so it is best to go with aftermarket upgrade while you get the lowering springs. It could've been lower, but for daily driving with a body kit allowed me to drive in Virginia safely. (roads suck)

I might consider these myself but there's way too many badly executed speed bumps on my routes.

These springs are perfect for people who want a mild drop and slightly improve performance. They are not too stiff and handle better than stock and still give you clearance to run over speed bumps and other obstacles on the road.

Will the drop look the same with stock shocks?? Just curious because that drop looks like the sportline springs?

I guess so. It's the springs that are shorter, not shock absorbers. they are definitely Eibach pro kit springs. it all looks better with larger rims (see my signature...although 18" would be even better:o: )
