Give these a shot......



They leave about a 1.5 finger gap in the front, and slightly less than that in the back.
Thanks. And those are stock 16's right?

So with 17's, the gap would be a bit smaller?

Yeah, stock 16s. You'll get about the same look, since the 17s use a lower sidewall tire....the overall measurement is pretty close.

At last, i went to with espellir and installed it last night. The installation was pretty easy. I think espellir ride just like stock but a little stiffer. But the drop is hot. Any one with espellir springs with ap1 amuse front lip?

I also have Eibachs.

A little over a finger gap up front, not sure about rear.

On stock struts, I plan on getting either KYB, Tokico or Koni soon. When I replace my brakes. So I do it all at once time.

i've been putting off lowering the car cause i've lowered my last two cars but i kind of like being able to take the S2k to a car wash w/o the suspension hitting the guard rails. i never had that problem with the celica but the IS i had to always hand wash and i hate garden house water. do lowered S2K have issues going into a car wash.
