G7 Best Handling Upgrades

[Crisis]

As it says...

Who makes the best lowering springs? Dont want to break the bank, but been looking Eibach/TTE?

TTE seem a pain to get a hold of from most places but everyone stocks Eibach. They lower the same amount.

Strut Braces? Not found any yet, but engine top mounts and I've found ONE rear strut brace, the triangular formed one.

Just a few parts to smooth the ride off really.

Also Braking? Best upgrade possible upto £200? Front Rotor Upgrade? Front Brake Pads?

Someone show me the way!

Tein mate , supposed to be the best lowering springs for the celica ;)

[Crisis]

Alrighty... Seen them around, can hardly ever get the detailed specs on the springs, not that much of it means anything to me anyway!

Anyone else?

[Jones~32]

As above, if you want springs, Tein is the way to go

not too sure about other bits for the Gen 7, so not much help...

[Crisis]

Tein Springs... Il do some price hunting.

There are loads of front strut braces available, but you'll probably have to replace the Battery as well for something a little shorter, as you'll find the stock one gets in the way. Never found a rear, but then never looked for one.

Sub £200 for brakes, you aren't going to be doing much (baring in mind new front discs are £130+). Mintex pads have a good rep, and may be worth a go!

I believe the TTE springs ARE the Eibach springs, just so you know! You won't find many people that aren't a Toyota main dealer selling TTE springs.

Ah maybe thats it, I dont really remember about the springs.

Il see how I get on with the brakes, maybe I just need to get used to them.

And some front ones...

And some short shifters...

I was just going to ask where your based, but I remember your from Cyprus :)

IN BLUE AS WELL! Hmmm... are they 'branded' or some of your local creation? Never seen the C-Pillar brace before.

[RossP]

Yes, they are branded, and come from the United states
