koni yellows all the way baby and go to www.trdracing.com and you can get the TRD springs for like $203.

I went to http://www.TRDRACING.com and it said ST204 does that mean it won't fit the ST 7afe does anyone know.

Thanx. >biggrin.gif>

The TRD springs will fit either the AT200(Which is the ST) or the ST204(Which is the USDM GT).

I think that the ride quality is gonna be about the same if you drop your car about 1.5" with the coilovers, because the Ground Controls use Eibach springs. John really likes his Ground Controls, and I really like my Eibach Sportlines, so I think either way you're making a good decision. Ask yourself this though: "Would I really adjust the height of my car?" Keep in mind that if you adjust your ride height a lot, you'll need to get a four wheel alignment every time you adjust the height by a large amount.

New Toyota project coming soon...
I was told that eibach makes the TRD springs is this true.

Thanx >biggrin.gif>

yes the TRD springs are made by eibach, and are just about identical to the eibach prokit, i think the trd springs may be a TAD stiffer, but i am not positive on that.

3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting.
Tom's itself sells those for like $125 on their site...
nobody had them when i was buying springs, so i didn't get them.
I'm e-mailing them about those springs. I wonder what the drop is? Honestly, toms is a good brand and they are 98 dollers.
any new news on these toms springs? are they any good?

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
Found Toms springs at Autodynamic(have ordered there before) for 189.95. They say 1.75" iin front, 1.5" in back.

Link to AutoDynamic
I wonder how much they are making... especially considering the other place sells them for $98.
