yea -- i could have gotten them from better angles... like i said, the "Before pic" isn't as bad as it looked. but i can tell a noticeable difference in the drop with the lowering springs now.
Yeah it's kinda hard to tell. I can see a difference just a tad...but with the blk on blk it's hard to tell. You should maybe get a close up pic of one of the wheelwells and the tire? Maybe we can see it a lil better. >smile.gif> Looks good though. =) How's the ride on them? Are you on aftermarket shocks as well??
>smile.gif>
Looks very nice man!!!
What is the brand of those wheels?
Are they 15" ?
If you thinking to buy a bigger set, I will be interest on your wheels.
Please let me know.

The ride is great and i'm on stock suspension -- i'd highly reccommend these, but i already want it lowered even more! >biggrin.gif>

I live in the Hyde-park area.
What size of tires you have?
Let me guess... 205/60R14?
I autocross my car, so I'm looking for some nice 14" or 15" and I like how they look the Enkei on yours
>wink.gif> >wink.gif>
you really do need some wider wheels. Don't get me wrong though, that's a great looking car.
14s...ouch man, i feel your pain.
I'm not sure if i'm gonna sell off my 14s once i get my 18s, i probly won't cause i really don't feel like buying new tires everytime i go race 1 time.
i thought that celicas came stock with 15 inch rims???
