eventually you'll need to replace them, but if your stock struts are fairly new, then no, you dont need new struts

how much are trd lowering springs anyone? Are they the same as eibach? If so, get the cheaper one. If you can afford it like some crazy people here get the Tein SS coilovers 'cause they're the best on the planet for our celica.

QTRMLR_1 are the Tein SS coilovers really the best for our celicas or is that just the popular opinion? I ask because i am deciding whether i want teins in the future

TRD wouldn't design something that is going to damage your suspension. it should be fine...

Hotchkis is perhaps the best TVS, but if you want the best coilovers get the Tein SS with 16 levels of dampening adjustment; plus if you want to get real trick you can add on the EDFC to choose from 32 adjustments (half increments possible) inside of your car. You can have a luxury ride to the track and when you get there just hit a button and boom you have the tightest suspension for near-zero weight transfer to the rear. When you're done, hit a button and you have limo mode again. BTW, the Hotchkis coilovers are NON-adjustable when it comes to dampening. Big difference I'd say... It doesn't get any better than the Tein.

I bought this: www.toyotaparts4u.com/e_catalog [ toyotaparts4u.com] on left side: click "celica" and the year of your car Go to TRD suspension. I bought the one listed for $537 comes with 4 springs and 4 shocks/struts
Some of the ugliest things took the longest time to make And some of the easiest habits are the hardest one's to break!!!

^^ that's a good deal for TRD stuff, but in case anyone is interested you can get an Eibach Sportline and KYB AGX (adjustable) combo for about $600.
