Thu, 14 August 2003 02:25 Just adding to what GIN51E said, increasing the overall diameter of the wheels will have the opposite effect but to a smaller magnitude. Not that I suggest that you go for 20in rims just to push the wheels out 1/2 an inch. Just thought I would reaffirm his concernes. Personsally, when I bought my car it was already sitting a couple of inch's lower than standard. It looks great (could do with a bit more height at the back) but it handles like shite. These cars can be made to handle well if you get them set up right. The problem is that you can't just chuck in some lower springs, hard as nails and expect them to handle well. Doing that has stuffed up the front and rear end geometry of my car. There will be a lot of moving of hinge points to get it to handle right, but thats the price you have to pay to get an early celica to handle well. I guess thats why the RTA expects an Engineer to approve any changes. You guys have a heap of freedom when it comes to modifying cars. In the aviation industry, you can't even change the tyre brand or specifications without engineering approval. [Report message to a moderator]
