What are the blocks for under the struts?

I like what ya did with the gauges, and the GT-TR badge. Not to sound repetitive, but like Teranfirbt asked...what are the blocks between the ball joints & struts?

lvn-ra65c · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 09, 2005, 05:17:26 am »

roll center adjusters, to put the steering back into geometry after being lowered. .i think it's more for our type of front suspension.. ae86's also ..and others

Hmmm..
How far is yours lowered? I hope I don't have to worry about those after I lower my coupe 1.5"

I have never seen anything like that to put under the strut before. Wouldn't that just raise up that car a little bit? Teran, I dont think you will have to worry about that with a 1.5" drop. I dont have anything like that and I have no problems with steering.

Oh, by the way I love the car. Lots of work done to it, and it looks great. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I don't recall anybody on the forum ever mentioning those before, and lots of people here have lowered their cars. I think you're right about that though. It allows you to give the car more of a lowered look with the spring ajustments, and then compensates a little bit for the height loss, so that the ball joints are at a more correct angle?

the springs i'm using are the now discontinued eibach sport kit(progressive rate and 1.5in drop) for the celica. these RCAs i'm using are from the mk2 supra list. i had to shave half of the notch to get them to fit but they fit and work like they should. these just help with the steering.

as for the gt-tr badge. .i have to dig that back up.. .i only put it on for special occasions

thought this was for test posts only

btw, kelly p's car looks a lot like mine with the paint fade on the hood and roof. .i'm starting to get a little on the trunk now.

You are now being pulled into the dark side. There's no use fighting it.
