Celica slammed on teins (56K beware)

**DarkSideCelica** · 12-25-2006, 09:30 PM

no more sneek peek... here's the real deal :D sorry for the sub-par pix.. i did 30 pix in 30 mins lol... was getting hungry, but i hope u guys enjoy it... here's my suspension setup:

1. tein s-tech springs for 94-99 celicas
2. KYB GR-2 shocks for 90-93 celicas
3. KYB strut boots with integrated bumpstops

springs are supposed to lower the car 1.3", but i think it's more... anyways, it's still driveable... springs are kinda harsh too.. i can still feel bumps on the road, but not as bad as before.... comments would be appreciated :)

I recently installed kyb gr-2s with ground control coilovers and had the same drop as yours.
I could hear and feel all sorts of "thunks" and "bumps". It looked sick but the kybs couldn't handle it so its been lifted back again.

I think its better to spend more for Konis.

looks sick though!..........and looks like a nice offroading site too.

+1 Stunning pic, looks brand new, just out of the showroom look so to speak. Whatever camera you have got certainly takes nice pictures.

**Ratko** · 12-26-2006, 10:30 AM

love it. very very clean.

**CiRiS91GT** · 12-26-2006, 12:39 PM

nahh... no fancy camera here... just a point and shoot and a tripod

as for the shoot site, it's literally my backyard

i always wanted to shoot my accord htere, but i would scrape like crazy at the entrance

the celica made it tho

still_stoned: yes, the shocks can't really handle the drop very well.... i wasn't expecting such a big drop cos it was stated as 1.3" for the 6th gen celica.... a lil harsh in the front, but nothing too bad.. at least it feels better than my old shocks..... wouldn't even come up again after compressing it

**still_stoned** · 12-26-2006, 01:47 PM

^yea..........apart from the bumps and thunks, how do you like the handling with that drop.

Mine was absolutely amazing going in and coming out of corners.

i don't get bumps and thumps... very quiet

i haven't really tested the suspension yet.... waiting till this sat for it to settle in nicely before getting an alignment... i'll let u guys know next week

**g5gt** · 12-27-2006, 01:21 PM

Looks awesome

car looks braaaand new!

**SE3P** · 01-04-2012, 02:51 PM

Thread resurrection!
Car looks good, I'm interested in buying s-techs for my 5th gen ST wanted to double check, will these fit on any fwd 5th gen?

I'm more interested in looks than performance as this is just my beater. Also, I know ST's are slow...I've had two of them so flame suit is on.

Cheers
