Yes I do realize, but at the same time, like I said before, technically a penquins 'wings' are actually flippers and quite useful. So saying they are useless is technically wrong. Would make more sense if you used chickens as the example. You could also say ostriches, but I think chickens would probably be the best.

& dups, you crazy drunken asshole bastard, at least you can own up to your failure.

Looks good. if you decide to lower it, TRD springs are just 1 inch so you would still have plenty of clearance.

Get some Tein S.Techs to lower it. Matches alright with your stock shocks without blowing them too. They lower your car about 1.4" all around.

I'm doing Tanabe. 2.3 in the front and 2.5 in the back.

**akley88** · 03-13-2010, 05:03 PM

**subspec** · 03-14-2010, 07:40 AM

Be prepared to have your stock shocks blown pretty quickly. Mine lasted about 3 months when I had Sportlines on one of my old Celica's.

**akley88** · 03-14-2010, 03:01 PM

i would think that they would blow pretty quickly cause they are being compressed most of the time. how was the ride with the shocks before they blew

**JUNKyardHOE** · 03-14-2010, 03:49 PM

I don't see how being fully compressed or not would wear out a shock, all they are is a tube with oil in it and a plate that seals all around the tube with tiny holes in it which is attached to the car and the tube is attached to the suspension arm

**akley88** · 03-14-2010, 03:52 PM

but if u take a hit while driving and they are compressed they cant compress enough to absorb the shock
