    look at the rear strut mounting point for a second and the look at your front strut.. then you get the answer..

    actually i'll just make it simple, no.

    No way man, lol. For the summer, if I can get enough saved up, I plan on getting a front and rear strut bar, lower rear tie bar, RSX bottom X-brace, and EX model sway bars.....this is for the Civic btw....I think that will give me some serious rigidity minus a rollcage. I dunno if they make any X-braces that fit Corolla's but I heard that the RSX X-brace is one of the best things to buy for noticable results for my car.

    When I google searched for corolla x-braces, it gave me something with xrs x-braces. Who knows, they might be interchangeable like rsx's and em/es civics. I dunno how functional they are but yea, might wanna look into that...I dont wanna put it out to make x-braces in general sound like the holy grail of suspension parts...

    Nope, you spelled it right. Its 2 separate words. hehe 9th gens are lucky. You have more aftermarket support and interchangeable parts than us 8th gen owners. But... I still like the 8th gen look better. hehe

    well i have rear disks from an AE111 on my 8th gen. I've bought the whiteline rear sway bar 20mm adjustable from him and its installed on the middle setting right now :D I just got the front swaybar bushings (superpro) but i received it with a crack on both bushings.

    You actually got the whiteline swaybar to fit? A member on my usual vvti.net forum tried and failed. I didn't get them because I thought they wouldn't fit. How did you do it? The lines around the gas tank seemed to obstruct the bar.

    i actually paid 20$ for my mechanic neighbor to install it and he didn't mention any problems to me. jspex102 has the same sway bar as me and he has it installed too..maybe you can ask him.

    i think jspex mentioned that the front sway bars might be something that will not fit.
