Ke11 Lowering Help

[jnr_13]

Hi guys. Am just trying to sort out my my preferred height for my ke11.

Have converted front drums to ke15 discs in the front, have some ke20 front springs on ke11 front struts. Also have removed the front transverse leaf spring and will put in a sway bar. But before I install the sway bar I want to get the correct height. With the 30mm lowered ke20 springs it way to high and wondering how you guys have managed to lower the car without chopping springs?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

We stripped the struts, trimmed the spring seat off the tube and re-welded it on at the required height. We wanted them higher, not lower, on the Celica.

 

So it can be done, depends on how keen you are. It keeps the ride quality you have as it uses the same springs and shocks, but in your case you should get increased camber and more bite in the front once its done. Make sure you work out what will smash itself to bits when it bottoms out one day- the shock piston, the rubber top mount, the spring coil-binding, the stub axle breaking off.... You need to plan these sorts of things.
