88 GT-S spring choices?

Other than Eibach ($$$$$ ) or coilovers ( ) is there another choice for lowering/performance springs on our gen 4 Celicas?

Suspension Techniques 1.3"
or
you can do like i did and convert to 90-99 suspension to do this all you need is the front top mount and plate from any 90-99 (possibily 2000-up they have front mac struts too but rear is entirely different). Rear is identical from 86-99 with this you have many more choices of springs to choose like H&R, Tein, Progress and many more but don't lower too much and don't forget to trim the stock bumpstops the same amount you lower the car...that's it. oh and you may need new struts the KYB AGX will fit from 90-95 MR2 for front but rear is a custom job. I'd stick with your stock struts until they blow.

i know this is totally wrong, but what kind of drop do you think a 4th gen would get if you cut a coil off your springs?

I was gonna put the Eibach 1" drop all the way around my 88 GT-S. Do you need to put on a camber kit at that level?

I dunno my 1.75 I think needs a camber kit but its not horrible... They are only 19.99 a piece I think (Might be less) from OBX Performance. Get INTRAX trust me IMO better shocks !

the camber is ok until you hit about 2 inches. however the toe will need to be set, set the toe to zero in front and back for best tire wear and handling.
