Im using a Noltec coilover kit and Koni Yellow inserts with mine.

If you want stiff, koni yellows are the go, fully adjustable and an old man would have lost his front teeth in my celica when i was running them, also stiffness of the suspension will also come with spring bound rates, check out the specs of the springs that your running to

Ok. Im new to this aftermarket suspension stuff so bare with me... So are the koni inserts a straight fit? Also what springs do you use, an spring rate,or do you go coilover kit? Whats the best to do about the rear?

The inserts i got were a straight fit in the strut tubes.
They will fit the TA23, RA23, RA28, XT130 & RT132 (and any that are similar) struts.

They are not short-stroke though, so if you want to lower your car further than King Low springs would, youll need a short stroke insert and to have the strut tube cut down and rewelded.

The Koni Yellow part number is "86-1991Sport".
For info on short-stroke inserts and cutting down the strut for them do a search, its been covered a few times before in these forums.
