Springs

[Shift6]

I was wondering some suggestions for a spring setup for a 2000 GTS. I am looking for a modest drop like 1.5". Not too low and not too much wheel gap because I will be running the stock 16's for a bit. Suggestions appreciated

I've been very happy with the TRDs.

isn't the TRD set up made by Eibach and hows the wheel gap situation??

[oldster]

I believe they are. The gap is greatly reduced, really never took before and after measurements. Just the other day someone posted pictures of before and after on his car with TRDs.

are you running stock rims??

[oldster]

Yes I am.

I have TRD's. The wheel gap is really reduced but there is still a gap. My car went down 1" front and 1.25" at the back. I wish I had gone .25" lower though, but I'm still happy considering I've had a few scrapping problems once I put the kit on. Here are my pics. The first set is before and the second is after.

I have seen some companies like H&R and HKS that advertise a kit that lowers 1.5" 1.25" rear. The only problem is I wonder why companies like those and TRd lower front more and back less. Unlike Hotchkis and Eibach who lower less in front andmore in back

I like the drop ratio of the TRD because the Celica naturally sits higher in the rear so the springs level it off a bit. It's all personal but I like that look more.
