sweet.lol, because i bought my car off ebay from florida. and i didn't even know it was lowered. i could tell just by looking at the car, and it was pretty low. in the ad it didn' say anything about being lowered, just said it had nice wheels. it also didn't say it had z rated tires or say it had 16" ALT's. anyone ever heard of those? and i wonder how i can tell what brand springs i got on. and how low they are....HEY! i'm gonna go check them out, all i know about them is they are red. maybe they are coil overs hehe!

eibach pro kits are a gun metal/ black pearl color. When I had sportlines- they were red. Probably eibachs. They are popular.

can i see some installed pics of these? cuz i want to compare'em. unless there is a way to tell a difference.and they aren't coil overs. and is it normal for the left side to be slightly lower than the right? and my struts make a clunking sound sometimes. isnt' this because they aren't the right sizefor the springs?

It is fairly normal for the drivers side of the car to be lower than the passenger side. Many theories as to why this is, most say because of the extra weight of the battery and driver on that side.

you know what that celica reminds me of? looks like someone took that picture in painshop and used the stretch or smear tool and smeared the lights and windows......WEIRD. yeah, that battery is freakin heavy. how much do drycells weigh?

Not to mention the added weight of the driver since most people drive by themselves.

It's not the battery because mine is in my spare tire well and it still sits like that even when there is nobody inside.
