    Iv'e been planning on getting tokico-hp's and tein s-tech's for my 01 corolla, but I'm not sure if ill be happy with the drop. Im planning on getting new wheels at the same time, 16" on something like 40mm profile so I'm wondering if i will even see much of a drop at all.

    Im still planning on getting the tokico's, but is there a spring that will give me more of a drop and same performance as the teins?

    Thanks

    No. That's the best drop this side of cut springs or coilovers.

    Ya thats what i figured from reading the suspension sticky, One thing i didn't see on there was a full poly bushing set. Would a full set be the same for 88-02 corollas?

    You'll also probably need a Sawzall and a swaybar end link kit. They tend to rust out completely on our cars. Mine had to be sawzalled and blow torched out.

    ...now you all know why I don't want to take my suspension out to sell it lol.

    Yea dude i was gonna get the same springs but i just figured out that i need the whole pack like the shocks and coilovers. Im on a budget so i have to find a cheap way to do it. Yea but i want a 1.5 drop all around.
