    I want the rear lower...

    ***Im retarded and messed up the thread title...***

    As some of you know I have Intrax springs on my 97. The way it sits gives it a raked looked, the front lower than the back. I just about tuck a little bit of tire in the front and have about a one to two finger gap in the back, I would like to tuck about the same amount in the back. Is there anything I can do to lower it a little more without adding tons of weight or getting new springs?:confused:
    I love the way the rear sat when I had my coilovers, it looked like this:

    Here what it looks like now, notice the front compared to the back(and ignore my dirty car:(

    You might have to drive them out to settle the springs. My TRD springs didn't get to their final ride height until I drove on them for a few months.

    you could look for some tein s-tech rear springs! that would probably fix you right up, it tucks the rear wheels from what i've seen on other ae101s.

    dunno who would sell them but they are about 150 new for all 4. (procarparts.com has them)

    good luck

    I assume you had coilover sleeves before, but probably cheap ones. Ground Controls are okay with Tokicos, but I think they need a stiffer damper. I would really go with coilovers like the D2's sxlostv1 posted about in his thread, or some overnight parts from Japan... Tein makes sweet coilovers for 93-02 corollas which can be imported.
