Trev-dizz

So this kid at my work, trevor, had a Celica, but went to jail for like 5 reckelss driving tickets, and then lost his car, and he has a six disc changer and some ebay lowering springs on th way he said I could have for free. He said they were fuly adjustable. Should I trust adjustable ebay springs he got for 120?

THEY WILL NOT FIT !!!! there different diameters and the sleeve will be WAY off when they sit on the strut. Please, if you do suspension, do it right. You'll save your own life one day and others. Do not put cheap parts onto a very well engineered vehicle. Please. I lost a friend in a car accident due to part failure and i dont want you to get injured because of part failure. I love every human on earth and each one saved is another brother i might meet one day.





ps.


im not african american and the color of a mans skin means nothing. a soul is a soul and we all need to look out for eachother.


Much love

Our suspension is def not great quality, my front pass suspension literally collapsed on me because of crappy rubber bushings disintegrating and crumbling to pieces, yeah way to hold the suspension together.

That's ok they were getting replaced with polyurethayne anyway

dude, most manufacturers use rubber bushings, from Kia's to Honda's to VW's, it's low cost manufacturing at it's best.
