coilovers arrived

coilovers arrived

finally got my coilovers in after like 3 months. right now i only have pictures of them uninstalled. i'll probably have some more pics in a couple days.

Nice man nice...What where you riding on springs???......

where'd you get them, how much did they cost, etc? details!

well i started off with tein s-tech on stock struts but after a while i found them unfullfilling. there was too much bouncing around. so i needed something more, but didnt wanna go with a strut/spring setup so i got coilovers. they are pretty pricey but not as much as jspexae102's cusco coilovers. let's just say the msrp for these are about 1200 but prices range as usual.

during the install, i ran into a few minor problems. for the rear, i adjusted the camber from the bottom a little too much negative and the wheels rubbed onto the spring. i loosened 2 bolts and pulled on the hub and tightened it back up. now it's got some decent camber without rub. on the front, i matched the total length of the stock strut to the coilovers and bolted it on. it was funny because it lifted up the car about 3.5 inches. i fixed that right up using the adjustment on the bottom of the coilover so it doesn't mess around with the spring's compression. now all 4 wheels are tucked about 1/4 inch into the fenders. imma need to lift it up a little so it doesnt rub on every corner i take.

handling-wise, it takes some time to get used to them. it went from bouncing everywhere, to taking hits everywhere. when i take right turns at like 20+mph, the rear right wheel lifts up. i can't really do this on left turns because they're not as tight as right turns. on sweepers, bodyroll is almost completely eliminated.

only things i can really think of that are weird are that i can't stick my small craftsman jack under the car anymore. i have to roll up on a 2x4 to get jacked up which kind of sucks. now i need to carry a 2x4 with me everywhere. also, unline tein dampers, the adjustments don't "click" on every adjustment made. d2 provides a simple marker that tells you where your adjustment is made. basicly, every full knob turn is equal to 6 points in adjustment.

i think i've said enough. maybe i'll put up some videos of the car's behavior when i have time.

Does this company have the same product for the 93-97 corolla?

this same setup works for 88-02 corollas

whoa! those are gorgeous!

Can you tell us where exactly did you ordered these babies from?

The package says for track racing only. Can it be used on the streets and how is the ride comfort?

the package only says that. sorta like how most exhausts say "for offroad or track use only". ride quality isn't that bad. you live in 626 area right? when i drove the underpass of NEW ave and 10fwy, it was hella whiplash for like 20 seconds. but through bumps and stuff it isn't that bad.

you can get them ANYWHERE

hey sxlostv1 I was looking around for these on yahoo and couldn't find anywhere that sells them for a 99 rolla. any specific place i should look for these thanks.

See below. But FYI, lots of times products for our cars are labeled as being only for a certain generation when they will actually fit other model yearsl, as well.<br />

So these coilovers will fit any Corolla made from 1988 through 2002. I would think the spring rate may be a little stiff for the 88-92 models though.

thanks for the help nintey four
i checked their site and it said they were for the ae 92 listed but they gave me the part number for our cars when i emailed them.
