    wanted to buy eibach prokit (8212.140) but they are discontinued

    was wondering if anyone can find these on the net or any and all other spring options there are that i can run, was looking to run a 1 inch drop over a lower b+g drop if i can help it and perferably if the springs were shipping from somewhere in the US

    seems like there are limited choices around to choose from and all around $200-240...any help on other springs and prices would be awesome

    i bought all the shocks and extras to put it all together, one question how does the spring seat up against the strut mount on the rears, didnt actually take it apart yet to see, just wondered me cuz i got a junkyard spring isolators and hats off 5th gen celicas and on those the spring seats right against the bottom of the rear strut mount but i got my new rear strut mounts and there is no place for the spring to sit

    I just avoided the springs and went coil covers...much easier....rickstarr22 fitted the b&g springs....they fit like factory......dropped it a nice bit too.

    I decided to use the B&G's with stock Gr-2's...5mm spacers in the rear.

    With 16's and 205-50 tires...

    Now with stock 14's and 205-60's...

    I would have gone coilovers if I didn't like it, but it turned out good enough for me. :)

    amazon is the only thing i found

    was trying to find other sites becuz they are listed for around $198 on 3 sites i found wit free shipping but none of them have them

    if i dont find them for cheaper than amazon in a couple days then i guess amazon it is for $240

    My '88 came with Suspension Technics lowering springs, but several companies still lists a few different brands. With stock strut housings, I wouldn't go much lower than about 1.2-1.4 inches, causes too much bottoming!

    On eBay of course...lol

    Haven't looked lately because, well, I already have them. :)
    They had a bunch listed, I wouldn't think they had sold them all.
