BLUE - Sportivo // RED - B+G // BLACK - Stock


FRONT SPRINGS: Sportivo lowers about 1/2" and B+G lowers about 2"

...


REAR SPRINGS: Sportivo lowers the car about 1/2" and B+G lowers it 1.5"

...


FRONT SWAY-BAY - Its obviously bigger than the stock.. much bigger!!!

...


REAR SWAY-BAR - Also much bigger!!

...


REAR TRAILING ARM BUSHING - I can only guess the purpose of this bushing is to prevent toe deflection under cornering loads. I noticed theres also a much direct feel to what the rear tires are up to.

Dampers are physically identical to stock, except the stiffness of course

CONCLUSION - Its a hefty price, but if performance is what your looking for, its well worth the money.

Isaac: I saw your posting on the sportivo suspension set. I am looking for suspension setup for autocross for my Celica and am interested in your impressions of the sportivo setup. Are handling improvements substantial? Is ride quality on the street affected? Does install require any cutting, etc., or is it a bolt on install? Is drop about 1/2 inch at both ront and rear? Any downside other than cost?
