    Default Lowered Suspension for ta/ra23

    Hi, does anyone know of any shock absorbers i can use in my ta23 celica that are shorter than the standard shocks. i've heard rav4 Koni shocks will fit and are 15mm shorter than standard, is this so?. Does anyone know of other shocks that are shorter than standard. I'd like to lower my celica 2.5 - 3 inches. Also is there a lowered spring available that will suit my requirements. cheers.

    If your asking this question, it sounds like your not interested in coilovers in which case King springs "lows" or similar are best.
    .. and if you use those, standard length shocks are fine.

    If you are going to lower your car, seriously consider Roll Centre Adjusters (RCAs) as you will find that otherwise the change to your suspension geometery will introduce bump steer which will make the car a pig to drive. To find out more about RCAs and bump steer Google them.

    Cheers Craig
