lowering springs - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #33298 15 posts Started by kash1355
ive been reading all the posts and it looks like eibach and tein are the most popular lowering springs. Could i basically go with either brand and be safe with them? Or is there other choices out there...

I will most likely get them off ebay cuz theyre around $200 on there, would ebay not be a good place to get them or is it ok.
either of those two springs would be great ... and getting them off of ebay don't worry to much .. lots of people on here have gotten springs off of ebay with no problem.. my self i didn't get lowing springs i got 2 diffrenet sets of coilovers from ebay .. one set was great the othere not so .. and i had no problem from the sell just get them from someone with a good rateing

Both Eibach and TEIN are very respectable brands, as well as Tanabe, TRD, etc. etc.

FYI: There are two types of TEIN, one is Japanese made, one is Taiwanese made.

<--- I miss :'' (
Actually, best price I could find on the Eibach Pro-Kit was from coximport.com.

The unit price wasn't the best, but it was free shipping within the continental US, compared to the usually overpriced shipping charged by E-bayers that made the difference.
I just ordered Eibach Sportline springs. Anyone have any experiance with there?
I sell alot of Eibach kits to people for there cars and I have never gotten any complaints. I heard Intrax are good springs too. 1.8 front drop and a 1.7 rear drop.

I love my sportlines. The ride remains smooth as stock and they really help the cornering of your already fine cornering car. FYI - TRD=Sportlines with a slightly smaller drop. So go Sportlines and get the same ride with a little lower drop - IMO.
I've hadd mine for about two years now and my stock struts are still in great shape. I do have the sport package upgrade though.
The only down side - It's sort of a conservative drop. If you want something really low you need another brand.
I'll be putting my aerospeed coilovers on in a week or to. Playr said they are really good. But TEIN would prolly be the best system.
hey, im new on the site so please dont hate...i live up north and my celi is a daily (in the winter) and i was wondering what a good drop height would be. i was thinking of maybe sportlines with kyb gr-2's (1.5")
I just put my sportlines on two days ago and I love them. smile.gif
I have the Eibach Prokit's on mine, with new KYB GR2's, and it rides really good. It's only a little lower than stock, and not too bumpy.

I decided against the Sportlines because the KYB's are not warrantied for drops over 1", and the Sportlines are like 2" drops. Didn't want to blow brand new struts...
my h&r's are amazing
