icon5.gif  What springs for celica with corona struts Mon, 20 December 2004 20:37 Go to next message
Hey i've done the hilux/pug brake upgrade and now i'm trying to sort out my suspension but I'm not sure what springs to get. I've got a ra23 with rt132 corona struts in it with 16inch rims. If I get some off the self 2 inch or 1.5 inch lowered springs for a ra23 would they fit? are the celica and corona springs the same diameter? This is the last thing i need to do to get my car back on the road before xmas! Evil or Very Mad

Yeah 2" looks nice Smile just be careful they are still captive, not sure if this will be possible without shorter stroke shocks.

Captive is where the spring is held firmly in place by the upper and lower spring lands.

It means the spring wont fall out when you jack the car up/go over bumps etc.

be careful with this as you might find that the setup will bottom out.
