Found a treasure today!

Found a treasure today!

Well i drove out to vancouver, WA today to get my bumper painted, and while the bumper was off the car some guy came up to me and at first thought it was a subaru, well anyways he realized it was a toyota corolla and asked me if i was interested in any parts because a ladys car he was working on had some parts she didnt want, i asked what he had and he said some suspension (s tech, and kyb struts) and a TRD strut bar, i asked him how much and he said how much is it worth, well i wasent gonna lie so i told him about 200 and he said i can take it for $50... so i.. bought it
Anyways he trying to get rid of some kyb struts and s tech springs, he said he might have a TRD exhaust and if he has any other TRD parts he will let me know. If anyone is interested let me know.

Nice!! Im jealous

nice! you should repaint your valve cover it looks horrible

Id suggest removing the VVT-i cover. Remove the valve cover + intake manifold. Give it a nice polish reinstall and call it a day.

I havent done anything with my engine bay in a long ass time, im probably just gonna toss the cover or re-paint.

good buy!

do you think you can get the kyb struts and stech springs and ship it to me?

nice buy

I think he will want atleast 150+ for the whole set, but yea i can ship them out to you.

150 and shipping for a full set of new suspension count me in!

Strut bars don't actually make such a huge difference. Sway bars do. A generic strut bar is good enough already.

Damn! All that stuff is a pretty good find! Niceeee!

Nice bro

I'll buy you that bar for 75 lol

how much for just the s-techs?

Trd parts you say? Interesting? Let me know what he got trd and overall I'd buy stuff without a doubt ... And dam you got lucky on the strut bar I've been lookig for a trd one ... Well actually Im trying to collect most of the trd parts they made for my car

I'm also intersted on the struts and springs

Nice find!

Looks class man

Yea im thinkin of getting those hotchkis sway bars too. they look impressive. much thicker than the stock ones and thats key. Good description on them in the thread... http://trdforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32446

oh yeh, if he has a trd spoiler, dibs on it and the full suspension setup

Whats your e-mail, ill give it to the seller so you can communicate with him.

its kristoffragas@hotmail.com

ill have him e-mail you.

I'm not sure if Hotchkis fixed the rubbing problem with their corolla sways. I would rather go with Whitelines. Whitelines are solid core bars compared to Hotchkis hallow ones.

Couldnt find whitelines for my year. Do they have them for the 8th gen corolla?

Technically no. Several years are interchangeable so they do fit. Look under AE models.
