CEIKA Custom Coilovers for Toyota Altezza XE10 (97~05)

1999 Toyota Altezza

I have an imported 99 SXE100 and did not realize it had been lowered. Requested a special kit to raise it about an inch so my old fuddy duddy butt could get in and out of the car easier and also so it could go over speed bumps and traverse some of the terrain on the farm (gravel driveways, inclines onto tarmac, etc). The engineers were very patient and helpful, asking pertinent questions so they could make the coilovers I needed. Granted the added height was unnecessary (my fault for not realizing car had been lowered) but the coilovers fit perfectly. Install was easy (as far as their product was concerned. ear end took some work but that is more Toyota design) and completed by me, myself, and I in about 3 hours. The car rides very well on the softest settings for the dampeners on country back roads. There is no body roll and it takes turns with very little weight shifting at even uncomfortable (for my wife) speeds. For a nitpick (and I mean I am fishing here) the dampeners adjustment nobs just kind of fit in the top of the coilovers without any sort of reassuring click or lock. Basically just a little Allen wrench with a thumb knob attached. Now based on my interaction with the team I am confident there is a dang good reason that they just sit in the hole as opposed to being fastened or otherwise mechanically affixed. They work beautifully. Just unusual (in my experience) that they just...sit there. Seems like they would jiggle but there is no noise and they are long enough there is not a way they could jostle out, so not worried about it at all. I trust these guys did it for a reason I am not privy to 5/5 stars. So impressed with the quality i ordered some custom springs for my 98 sprinter carib station wagon that definitely needs more ground clearance and increased weight capacity. I use the sprinter (AE111 chassis) to deliver mail on some iffy roads and shoulders. If those hold up to the punishment I put them through i will request more stars to rate. P.S. do reach out to their support team if you have questions before you order. The guy that has been helping me is great and very patient with my dumb questions and requests. They will help you figure out what you need.
