My '93 Corolla From New Zealand

Buncha dabs.

I have been considering going for 15mm spacers, but my wheels don't have the small recesses in the back so the nuts will hit the rear of the wheel. 25mm spacers would work, but they'd poke out like crazy. My offset if 38, so with 25mm spacers I'd have an offset of 13 . Would have to have some pretty serious camber to avoid scraping the inside of the wheel well.

That's one of the next things to do. Have half of what I need, just need to order the brand new rotors from Toyota and I'll be good to go

I'm actually in the process of sourcing/sending a complete rear disc brake set up to another guy in the US, but shipping is an absolute killer. They they weigh approximately 16.6kg's (36.6lbs) each, so around 33kg's (72.75lbs) once packaged up. Unfortunately I can only send up to 30kg's (66lbs), but we'd be able to shave some weight off by not shipping the discs.


However, the weight isn't the problem, the price is. To send 30kg (66lbs) it would cost $497.28 NZD ($416.32 USD) just in shipping alone on International Economy Courier (2-6 working days, tracked and insured).

Plus of course you'd have the cost of the brakes, which could be as high as $300 NZD ($251 USD) for the pair, plus PayPal fees. So by the time you factor in all of that you'd be looking at around $850 NZD ($711 USD)


I received/installed this today - An Ultra Racing rear strut brace. Should help stiffen things up a little more

Looks like it would.

$711 for some rare jdm parts? sounds resonable

Yep, it will definitely fit models with the non-folding rear seats. A buddy of mine overseas sent me photos of one fitted to his fixed rear seat Corolla and it was a perfect fit.

Here are my two latest purchases - An Ultra Racing 29mm solid front swaybar and a Whiteline 18mm solid rear swaybar, both with polyurethane bushings. Should make a very noticeable difference to the handling compared to the original 24mm front and 14mm rear swaybars

Yeah the front UR bar is ginormous. It's really quite heavy too, but should make a massive difference to the handling. Looking forward to putting it on.

^ Got an awesome deal on both, so good that I couldn't refuse

I installed my 18mm Whiteline rear swaybar today. I finished installing it quite late in the afternoon so haven't had a chance to go for a drive yet but I'm sure I'll have a bit of fun throwing the car around some corners to test it out

I got this in the mail yesterday - A custom personalized plate keyring. Thought it was a pretty cool idea as it's made from acrylic and the lettering is raised/painted like my real plate. Just something a little bit different
