    Wooooo new suspension rules

    Well, everything is finally on and aligned real nice. Whiteline rear sway set at intermediate, KYB GR2's, and Intrax springs. The difference is amazing. There's almost no body roll and it corners amazing. If any of you guys are thinking about doing a suspension overhaul...don't think too hard and just do it...you won't regret it. Not to mention that the car just looks better too. The rediculous wheel gap in the front is completely gone with the front tires tucking a little bit. The rear has a tiny bit of gap, but it just looks a lot more agressive...couldn't be happier.

    its a 1994 LE. The whole setup cost me around $700 shipped. I got the Whiteline Rear sway from globalperformanceparts.com...he's an awesome vendor and will really work with you...the sway was like $170 plus shipping. I got the KYB's off a vendor on Ebay for $225 plus shipping. I got the Intrax springs from sfxperformance.com for $200 shipped. I picked up front and rear camber bolts from some other place online, don't remember who for like $50 shipped

    Haha, calm down everyone...I'll post pics in a little bit. I'm at work right now and all I can do is take pics with my cell phone...which doesn't work because the files are too large to upload and I don't have the time or know how to make them small enough to post. If you can gimmie a quick fix...I'll go take pics in the parking lot now

    Customrollaz98, do you want Tokico HP Struts and Tein H-Tech (1.3") springs? They have about 2000 kms on them...

    you'll only need struts...not shocks. Check out Ebay for struts...you can get some good deals there...as far as springs go...you gotta decide what kind of drop you want, then start looking for places. The Intrax drops the front 1.7 and the rear 1.6...I think it looks perfect with the nose dropped just a hair more than the rear...but its all personal taste

    That'd be a good setup

    I agree, on Corolla's, I find it looks better with a front drop about 0.10" to 0.25" more...

    It's a pretty good handling setup, but, i dont drive my corolla anymore... I really have to sell it soon...

    I'd buy them from you man cause you're on the board and stuff but like I don't trust used suspension parts... I just have bad experience with that. How much is it for the same set up but new?

    I paid about $700 CDN (about $590 USD) for the struts and springs... its understandable, theres some stuff I just won't buy used either... I gotta sell that car, lol...

    Yeah...used parts...especially suspension parts is something I'd try to stay away from. The parts are by good companies...its just that when doing work with your suspension, you should always start new. The springs and shocks will be performing their best and they'll last longer
