electronic damper force controller...its a little box that goes in the interior...like a boost controller, and you can adjust your ride height and damping from you cockpit...cool stuff...works with the tein flex coilovers.

i dunno, all i know is there were a little bit of problems with the shit actually fitting in and not hittn shit cuz there alot thicker....as well as its a beatch to hook up your rotar to the rear set of struts cuz there meant for caliper style

I appologize if my question bugs you, but I love the stance your car has and was wondering which kit did you go with. I was thinking the sportline-system-plus but I was wondering if it was woth getting all of that or not. Another question is what is your backspacing and bolt pattern. I'm interested in 17" or 18" rims and I don't know what to tell them. Sorry, but what size tires. Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for any help.

no problem, thanks for the comment on the car...I personally think that the sportline springs are worth it...if i was going to keep my car i would probably get some aftermarket koni shocks to add with the it...the wheels are 18x7.5 it has a 35 offset, tire size is 215/35 they are Pirelli Pzero Nero m+s...awesome for weather. I think you should go with 19x7.5's then you'd be the only person with 19s that i know of or have ever seen...and that'd be sweet...BTW they would fit

91 Celica St
10-14-2004, 05:39 PM
man i really didnt think the 18's would fit, my 16's with 205-50-16s are a tight squeeze

driftking777
10-14-2004, 06:59 PM
lol...yea they fit great..no rubbing...no problems at all...i personally think with the same size tires 19's would fit...like i said if i actually planned on keeping the car i would 19 it out...because i've never seen it done

yeah but big ass tires would make you loos a buncha power to the wheels

Do you think the spacer would work with it as well? How much did it cost if you dont mind me asking?

driftking777
10-15-2004, 08:15 PM
well i guess if you get some volk Te37 wheels.(expensive..lol) they only weigh like 16lbs...which is stock wheel weight...then you wouldnt loose any whp...and still look ill. And to Arkane's question...not quite sure what cost your asking for...but the wheel and tire package was about $1200...and the eibach sportline springs from ebay where (think they were) $200-150....hope that helps at all...if your wondering anything else just ask...BTW if your talking about eibach's spacers...they dont make them for the 90-93 celica
