Funny you should mention it, I just got finished last week installing new shocks/struts, 1” lowering springs, and new sway bars on my Celica. I was also doing rust removal and repainting the underbody suspension sub frames at the same time. Took it in for an alignment, told it was way off.

The car felt like it had lower drag, mainly based on how it coasts down hills now, but I have been driving my truck while I did all this work so I don’t have a good A-B feel on it. (Definitely lower drag than the truck!)

I just ran the first normal tank of fuel through it this week, got about the same fuel economy I had been getting, but those tanks were from November when it was significantly warmer. I think once it warms back up the car will show a slight improvement.
