Whalecum, nice car. Love the older Supra's

Not too familiar with their suspension though, someone might know a little more and chime in.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HACK THE SPRINGS.

welcome smile.gif and thank you for properly introducing yourself.

it really depends on how money is for you.

http://www.celicasupra.com/forums/showthre...roducts-Catalog

you could just get some Dobinson lowering springs if your funs are tight.

or just save and piece together front coilovers. (Techno Toy Tuning, Ground Control, KYB AGX, etc)

and try and find a nice set of 80's camaro rear coilovers or shocks if you want to keep them separate.

YES YES YES!

My dream is to build one of these as a daily. Soon.


BTW, for the rear, you can get some lowering springs/kyb AGX. I'm running T3 coils on the front of my Cressida, and Eibach springs/KYBAGX out back, and it's pretty low.

thanks, but if i go 3 wheeling.. wouldnt i unseat a spring cause the rear control arms would have full movement.. would i have to get new struts to accommodate for that? that would kinda suck, cause i just bought some tokico's for the rear..
