i have a celica and i bought lowered, but found that when i hit a bump or hole in road, it sounds like i have no spring action like the struts are bottoming out, can i do anything with the springs or where cn i buy cheap new springs, beside junk yard, because they only sell strut and spring assembled. thanks

Do you know for a fact your struts are not blown? You might be better off buying springs and struts.

not sure if they are or not, but do know that everyone who has seen it, asks me where i got the lowering kit becuase they never seen one so low.

If it's as low as you say, your struts may be blown. Especially, if your on stock struts.

Struts are blown, you have no dampening on the car.

yeah if they arent blown they will. my buddy lowered his frontier and he noticed the same thing. so we had to get shocks with shorter rams so it wouldnt bottom out
