can u see that the monotube (item 13) can be take out from the hub connector (item number 14). Imagine this, u can turn the body higher so the suspension become shorter. That's what i meant.

I get wat u guys r saying now .. so wats the best set up that u guys r running? i dont think i can jack my car up .. wouldnt fit under the car..

I raise my suspension's body in order to lower my car, as BanGn said, i don't have any negative effect on the damper. This goes for both front and rear.

so with ur set up ur not working 100% of ur coilovers right? more of looks than performance?

its not about working the coilover 100 percent or not. Its a way of setting it to avoid premature.

If you lower your coilover from the spring perch beyond the reccomended level, it will have premature wear. Just like when you use lower spring on standard suspension, because the sping is shorter your strut sits lower. Same thing occur when you lower the spring seat on coilover beyond recommended measurement.

I don't know how low you wish to go, but do take care if you wish to lower it from the spring seat.

As for me, my suspension can lower the car without the need to lower the spring seat. This is an advantage because it can sits lower but strut travel is not affected at all. So I don't adjust the height from the spring seat as it can be done in a better way.

if you lower it too much from the spring u have a higher risk of bottoming out as well.

Yeah, Brian would know what to do. The coilover for Celica, the one that I saw by K-Sport looks the same like the Corolla one. Infact, I kinda think both celica and corolla have the same suspension - or else its dead similar.

They share the same front suspension, but the Celica has the multi-link rear independant and the corolla has the POS torsion beam.
