2003+ corolla S and XRS

2003+ corolla S and XRS

Other then the engine what are the other differences between the two?

The suspension on the XRS might be a bit stiffer due to the power differences but other than that its exactly the same minus the 'S' badge and lip kit.

front lip kit is different. the XRS has a nicer interior. sits a little lower than the S.

oh ok thanks guys

AFAIK, The XRS has a rear disk while the S and XR didn't.

Actually the front lip kit is the same... it is the same as all 05+ lip kits. 03-04 and 05-07 have different front lip kits.

But yeah... i don't think these guys forgot anything... like mentioned before...

1ZZ-FE vs 2ZZ-GE
Suspension (Sits slightly lower, OEM KYBs, Rear seat Crossbrace)
Interior (Seats, Door panels, center console & door trim, Electroluminesent Gauge Cluster)
Larger front brakes & Rear Disk
Tire Pressure Gauge

and the Xrs is a 6 speed manual in which corolla S has auto and 5 speed option, Xrs comes standard with the 5 spoke 16" rims, and of course, the Xrs badge

And XRS has OEM front strut bar

XRS has moonroof as it was on option on the S

Xrs front grille is color matched to the body

Actually, the difference is that the XRs has an XR before the S

^ well yeah thats true, and it hits LIFT at 6500~7k ish in which other corollas didnt have

and lift engages in XRS as we hit redline

xrs lift hits at 6800

xrs gets into lift just before 6500rpm

some major differences are the color matched grill, much much better seats, interior fabric is much nicer, silver accented interior, gauge cluster, the suspension sits .5in lower and is stiffer, rear cross brace, front strut tower dampner, factory 16s, 4 wheel disc brakes, ABS comes standard, and the only option for a trans is a 6speed manual.

ive bought 2 xrs' and modded them... and worked somewhat extensively on a couple of S and XRS corollas.

oh, and XRS were only produced and sold as '05-'06 models with a production run of roughly 6600 cars total.

bring the thread back from the dead '07

was 300rpm off

I'm curious to know what kind of times a modded XRS runs..... one around the range of 190whp+

last time i checked it was 170+

i believe it is into the 13s
