- Hey everybody, in todays video I go over swapping the rear suspension springs on your Celica to a lowering spring. I used a generic Eibach brand spring that I got second hand, and I will try to provide links to in this description. I hope you guys enjoy

(I am not 100% certain if this is the absolute exact spring I used, so be warned, like I said in my video, the label was worn out so I am going roughly off of the measurements, and what I could distinguish from the numbers still left. I believe these are the correct ones but again, not certain. I am not responsible if you purchase these and for some reason, they do not fit.)
OMFGGGG thank you for making this video! I've been following your channel for such a long time. I have a 83gts of my own that just quit out on me (fuel pump died) the next thing that's about to go is the suspension (been on the same 41 year old coils) this video is exactly what I needed. You always cover everything in the best detail and with how the forums just have back and forth info, you have been the best source I have found! Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you! I really do appreciate the kind words! Hopefully when I get to replacing the rest of my suspension, those videos will help you too!
Crazy you only showed the rear any ways I’d recommend some t3 goodies
Well yes, the video is a rear spring install! I’m still deciding between front coil over conversion options so I put the rears in, in the mean time. I looked into T3 but I think Ground Control is better for my budget and needs!
Check how much negative camber you gained from lowering the rear. Yours doesn’t look too bad but watch out for getting cambered out as the suspension drops.
Yeah it looked like I gained about -1 or so from the drop, not so much that I’m worried since I plan to get the front suspension done soon, and then have the car aligned!
@@TEQTuning you're running 225/60 for tires, am I right?

Are these the rear lowering springs for the Corolla
They aren’t advertised as Corolla springs online, and I purchased them from somebody who used them on a Celica Supra, but I do believe the Celica springs typically fit Corollas! I’m not sure whether the GT-S and GT springs are different though
do they also fit on the front?
Unfortunately these would not, you would have to measure the OEM front spring size and find an aftermarket one of equivalent diameter and desired height to replace the fronts, the front and rear do not share the same size spring.
@@TEQTuning I recently just got some mk2 supra springs off facebook marketplace. The backs for sure fit but i dont know if the front will for my gts
If the front springs were for a mk2 Supra they’d definitely fit a celica, but the spring rate may not be adequate for the celicas weight
