[CelicaGtS02]

I am Looking to buy some Coilovers and i was wondering which were the best for the Celica , so i can start saving if i dont have enough cash

[RiCeY GtS]

TEIN

[PaCelicaGTS]

I prefer my Hotchkis

I would also say Hotchkis, but Teins are a little more affordable and are a nice coilover. Better than my damn GroundControls. hehe Someday I will have REAL coilovers. ;)

Why don't you like the groundcontrols, cause I just bought a set and they should be here Friday. Please clue me in.

I kno your not asking me, but ill clue you in.
There is nothing wrong with them. The ride is fine, handling is fine. Its just that Tein, hotchkis is way way better.
Your not gonna have any problems with them, and your not gonna regret it. Until you ride in a car with real suspension. Unless your gonna go crazy on the corners, groundcontrol is fine, and its way more affortable.
But i do regret buying it. not groundcontrol but coilovers. I got it cuz i wanted to slam it. But after gettin my rims i had to raise it and when i get side skirts im gonna have to raise it again. meaning i didnt need to pay so much more for a coilover, cuz im only gonna be dropped by like 2in which most springs will give you.

Thats not a very good clue. You didnt explain WHY TEIN and Hotchkis are better.

Heres one: GC's are just coilover "sleeves", not true coilovers like TEIN. TEIN's are the entire spring/strut assembly, offering more ride control, better ride quality, etc. etc....but at a price. Ground Control is just a quick and cheap solution for ride height adjustability. Take it from me, the GC's are a pain in the ass to adjust, too. They claim "one-hand" adjustment with no tools...BS!!! The perch lock is so damn tight, we had to use a leverage bar to turn them! Not only on my car, but 2 of my friends have them, same deal. Just a warning...I wouldnt say DONT get them if you have a limited budget.

I love my Tein's. The only thing that I don't like is the noise when I hit bumps. Kling Klang! Someone told me it was because I don't have a helper spring..........
