Hello, I wish to know someone that is really good at customizing Celicas, and that is patient to the newbies. If you think you are please add me: fei_mchd@hotmail.com I love celica but just don't know much about it, really like to conversate and learn something from you. thank you!
If you just post your questions here or what you would like to conversate about, you'll get a bunch of input and information opposed to 1 that emails you...
What kinda stuff do you have in mind?? Ask away...LOL
Not sure what you are asking, if you are asking if you need to lower your car to put a body kit on, the answer is no, they are two completely different modifications to the car.

true, lowering is completely different than a body kit, but body kit with lowering looks much much better imo. Makes it look like a car, not an off-road machine. kinda OT, but has anyone ever seen a newer style mustang with a body kit and no lowered suspension? looks like a 4X4 imo.
on our cars yes..i wouldnt get a kit unless you have wheels first..depending on the size you could pull off with not getting springs but the springs get rid of that nasty wheel gap and makes it look so much better..a stock celica with just a drop looks great to me
welcome to the site, ill help you out as much as i can...i just recently purchased a veilside EC1 body kit, its not here yet but im going to try and get some rims and coilovers before it gets here though.
Well preferably you want at least 17" rims with a body kit, or a drop of 1-2" in the suspension either way would make the kit look way better. On my car its dropped a bit, stock rims, and body kit, looks good imo, but could always use some nice gunmetal w/ polished lip rims :drool:
since you said 16 im assuming you have the GTS..and no..the stock 16's are too small for a body kit..17's will fill it up much better...i reccomend getting a drop first..then if you really like the stock rims, which i think look good in some occasions, get a kit..but i would stay away from aggressive kits like velslide because it wont look right..

It all depends on the body kit you are looking at.. for instance, TRD Action Pkg, Tsunami are both kits that would look 10x better lowered
BUT
Buddyclub2, kaminari, and i believe C-One ver2 kits are excessively low when the car has been lowered
With my bc2 front on with Sportline springs and 18" wheels im MAYBE 2" off the ground in front.
