Hi I'm new so i try to find and read old topics before i ask stupid questions, but i got some that i cant find the answer to anywhere.

What is the normal height between the center of the wheel and top of the rear wheel well? ( the previous owner lowered my car and i think he only did the front, but i'm unsure),
thinking about mounting standard (or something similar) suspension because now the front wheels are rubbing when i turn more then half way.
also what do you recommend, my front bumper is flaking and should i replace it with one from a brakes yard or should i get it repainted ( what is more likely to match the rest of the car?

Cheers Mats

If you can post a pic for us, we'll be able to tell you regarding your suspension. As for the bumper, it's unlikely that you'll find one that isn't messed up somehow, but it's worth a try if you want. Your best bet is repainting though.

Wheel gap is going to vary from car to car based on the shocks. A car with bad shocks will sag. This is why we can't really give you a measurement of wheel gap.


Post a picture of your Celica from the side (with the wheels straight)

if you wanna measure it by manufacturer specs, here you go.

Here a image i took today.

front does look dropped however easy way to tell is to jack up the car and look at the suspension, either the color of the springs or it looks cut.
