never heard of the brand but color scheme looks good. You probably had to mod the brake line bracket.

its time for a little update biggrin.gif

its by far the biggest (and best) gift i ever received

we installed them last saturday
i love my new celi (yes it really feel like a new car)
it may be strange but the ride is a lot more confortable
it stiffer but it feel a lot better


the day started with a little problem kindasad.gif
the bottom bolt was a little off
but it was far from being unsolvable tongue.gif



the old suspension was wear out a lot


after this, the installation went really well
(no need to modifie the brake line brackets)



sorry the engine is dirty (a lot)


the results are awsome
yes 808, i will go LOWER laugh.gif

You should really learn to reply to the people that ask you about the specs. Maybe I want to buy the same type, knowing they specs would make that a lot easier for me and anybody else that would like to get them.

I did check out the Selex website, but didn't find the same ones on there, unless your dad bought them and chose what the company put on them..?

sorry if i didnt give you a good answer
they are from a local shop and the fit wasnt perfect,
they had to make some modification
so i dont really recomand them for someone outside town
i would go for megan if i were you
they cost less and they have been installed on way more celica
(the fit might be better)

hope thats a better answer rolleyes.gif
