Default Celica Update, Pics

So here is a little update. After installing my coilovers I was disappointed with how far in, the rear wheels looked. Just didn't look right. So long story short I installed 20mm spacers in the rear. As murphys law states anything that can go wrong will. I had some rubbing issues so, I did a 45degree fender roll but still didn't work when I turned, I had to raised the rear. Here are some picture of how it looks.

I just ordered some camber bolts. Hopefully it will help, I might raise it a little more. I really dont want a ton of negative camber. This is what it currently looks like. And about my steering problem it was my alignment, my toe is messed up. Went to get that fixed but they wouldn't do it without a camber kit...thats for another day.




Put a bottle of oil so you can gage how high it is

Looks clean first off! Good work... But do the GTS have a wider body or the same AS ABOVE?

Common sense says that instead of continuing to dick the fender up, you could simply put thinner spacers in the rear to make the shoulder of the tire clear the fender.
Nah, because racecar.
