Transcription

1 SPORT COIL SPRINGS (STREET) 00-UP TOYOTA CELICA Thank you for your purchase from our new line of Toyota Celica parts. Please call us at (877) 4NO-ROLL if you have any questions regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis Tuning products. Tools required for this installation: Hydraulic jack, jack stands, torque wrench Coil spring compressor (most major auto parts chains can rent these out) The following sockets or wrenches: 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm The following Allen wrenches: 6mm INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT COIL SPRINGS 1) Securely block the rear wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to lift up the front of the vehicle and use jack stands to support it. Remove the front wheels. 2) Use a 14mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench to loosen and remove the hardware holding the sway bar end links to the front struts. Retain the hardware for later re-installation.

2 3) Use a 13mm and 10mm socket or wrench to loosen and remove the bolts holding the brake lines to the strut. Retain the hardware for later re-installation. 4) Use a 21mm and 22mm socket or wrench to loosen and remove the two bolts holding the base of the strut to the spindle. Use a 12mm socket or wrench to loosen and remove the nuts retaining the top of the strut. The strut will now be free and can drop out of the vehicle. Use caution to avoid dropping the strut, as this could damage the strut or the vehicle. 5) Place one of the struts into the coil spring compressor and collapse the spring until the upper strut plate is no longer under tension. Remove the plastic dust cover on the top of the strut. Use a 19mm socket and a 6mm Allen wrench to remove the retaining nut at the top of the strut. Retain the hardware for later Re-installation.

Slowly release the compression on the spring and remove the stock spring. 7) Slide the new bump stop over the end of the strut with the narrow end facing towards the bottom. It should rest just below the shelf on the end of the strut shaft. Place the new Hotchkis spring over the strut. Make certain to line up the bottom of the coil, or tail, with the perch in the lower spring seat and isolator pad. 8) Observe the stamped arrow on the upper spring seat before reassembly. The arrow is highlighted in the picture below.

6 9) Replace the rubber spring isolator / dust cover on the spring. Place the upper spring seat on top of the coil and align the coil assembly. The stamped arrow on the upper spring seat should be pointed between the two flanges at the bottom of the strut. 10) Use the coil compressor to apply pressure to the Hotchkis coil. With the coil collapsed you may re-install the stock strut top plate. If you purchased Hotchkis camber plates follow the installation instructions included with those from this step on. Use a 19mm socket and a 6mm Allen wrench to tighten the strut retainer nut. Torque the nut to 40 ft/lbs. Replace the plastic dust cover on top of the strut. Slowly release the spring compressor and the strut assembly is now ready to re-install.

7 11) You may require some help with this step. Lift the complete strut assembly into vehicle and push the studs in the strut top plate through the mounting holes in the body. Use the stock hardware to hold the strut top in place. Do not tighten the nuts onto the studs yet. 12) Replace the bolts holding the bottom of the strut to the spindle. Use a 21mm and 22mm socket or wrench to tighten the strut bolts. Torque the hardware to 100 ft/lbs. Tighten the nuts at the top of the strut tower. Torque the hardware to 30 ft/lbs. 13) Re-connect the brake lines to the struts. Use a 10mm and 13mm wrench or socket to install the stock hardware. Torque both bolts to 20 ft/lbs.

8 14) Now repeat steps 5 through 13 for the opposite side strut. Reconnect both end links to the struts using a 14mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench. Torque the hardware to 30 ft/lbs. Replace the front wheels. Use a jack to remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle back onto its wheels. 15) Re-check all hardware for tightness and you re finished with the front springs.

9 MOVE ON TO THE REAR SPRING INSTALLATION!

10 Please call us at (877) 4NO-ROLL if you have any questions regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis Tuning products. Tools required for this installation: Hydraulic jack, jack stands, torque wrench Coil spring compressor (most major auto parts chains can rent these out) The following sockets or wrenches: 14mm, 17mm, 19mm The following Allen wrenches: 5mm, 6mm INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS REAR COIL SPRINGS 1) Begin by removing your trunk interior. 2) Securely block the front wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to raise the rear end of the vehicle and support with jack stands. Remove the rear wheels. 3) Use a 14mm wrench and a 5mm Allen wrench to loosen and remove the nut on both end links where they meet the rear spindle assemblies. Use a 17mm wrench or socket to remove the bolt and nut holding the rear upper link to the spindle. Retain all stock hardware.

11

12 4) Use a 19mm socket or wrench to remove the bolt holding the bottom of the strut to the spindle. Use a 17mm socket to remove the three nuts holding the top of the strut in place in the trunk floor. Retain the stock hardware for later re-installation. The strut assembly will be loose and can now be removed. Use caution when removing the strut to not drop it. 5) Mark the strut hat and the base of the strut for alignment purposes later using a paint marker or other tool. Use a coil spring compressor to collapse the rear spring. With the spring tension off of the strut top you can use a 17mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench to loosen and remove the nut and washer at the top of the strut and the upper spring seat. 6) Remove the rubber boot and stock bump stop. Slowly release the compressed coil and remove the stock coil. Retain the metal washer from the rear bump stop.

13 7) Place the new Hotchkis spring over the strut shaft. Slide the new Hotchkis bump stop over the end of the strut shaft with the washer from the stock bump stop. The smaller end of the bump stop should be facing down. Re-place the rubber boot on the top of the spring. 8) Use the spring compressor to collapse the new Hotchkis coil. Place the upper spring seat hat over the top of the strut. Make certain the rubber boot and bottom of the hat line up. Place the stock washer and nut over the end of the strut top. Align the strut hat and the strut body using the marks you made earlier. Use a 17mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench to tighten the nut. Slowly release the compressed spring to seat it into the hat.

14 9) Install the strut assemblies into the car. This may require assistance. Lift the strut into the body and use the stock hardware to hold the top and bottom of the strut loosely in place.

15 10) Use a 17mm wrench or socket to tighten the top strut nuts. Torque each nut to 35 ft/lbs. Use a 19mm socket or wrench to tighten the lower strut bolt and nut. Torque the bolt to 80 ft/lbs. Repeat the removal and installation procedure for the opposite side strut. Re-connect the end links to the struts in the rear using a 14mm wench and a 5mm Allen wrench. Torque the end link nut to 30ft/lbs. 11) Re-check all hardware for tightness and replace the rear wheels. Use a jack to remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle. Use caution when lowering the vehicle as the springs will sometimes move in the hat with the suspension at full droop. With the vehicle on the ground replace the trim panels in the trunk to complete the installation. 00+ Toyota Celica Sport (Street) Springs, Parts List P/N 19400

19 Hotchkis Tuning KNOWS Celica like nobody else! Perhaps you ve heard of our first little project The first Hotchkis Tuning project Celica, introduced to the world at the SEMA 2001 show. Aggressive alignment settings, adjustable parts everywhere and super sticky tires make it among the most fun cars we ve ever driven on a racetrack. With superb balance and instant communication between the driver and the road, the Hotchkis Celica can easily put the hurt on far more powerful machinery. Sport Compact Car, August 2002 Issue Celica Bash This Celica has graced many magazines and been used for extensive testing. As a result of its travels and event participations, it currently holds one and shares another handling record of Sport Compact Car. This vehicle owns the SCC record for the 600ft slalom at 76.9 mph average, which bested the previous record speed of 73.8 mph, set by a modified MR2. It also shares the SCC braking distance record of 97ft in a 60-0 stop, which bested the previous record of 105ft. Toss in a skid pad reading of 1.03g (within.01g of another SCC record) and you d think we d be happy

20 right? Well, we re not even close to being finished with Celica development! Wait until you see our new project

21 While establishing the benchmark for handling is nice, we needed a new challenge Working closely with Toyota Motor Sports Hotchkis Tuning has sought to take Celica to new heights of performance. Having already built a dominant street car that was also a strong track car we decided to try our hand at something a tad bit different At the 2002 SEMA show the automotive world got a preview of the new EXTREME Hotchkis Tuning Celica. Powered with a roots style Magnuson supercharger Toyota Racing Development brakes for that stopping bite Fully integrated custom roll cage, gauges from Auto Meter, Sparco seats and harnesses Countless hours of custom fabrication work by Lyman Racing in California Functional adjustable ARP carbon fiber spoiler, and a carbon fiber hood from APC 17 inch OZ Racing wheels wrapped with some sticky Yokohama tires Want to race?
