    coil over opinions for 99 rolla

    I'm thinking about getting some coilovers to replace my blown out struts

    so far these are the only ones i've found the first ones sound good but not sure if they will work and how good they are and the seconds and nice but a little more expensive. what does everyone else think i should get and your oopions of the ones listed.


    K-sport kontrol coil overs (around $1,040) ( says fits 88-99 corolla)

    Jic-magic FLTA 2 (around $1,850)

    That sounds like a pretty good deal for $890 from Jinsu Power. Yeah, definitely take advantage of a warranty if you can. I had Tokicos for about a month before they mysteriously blew, but luckily, I'm in the process of getting reimbursed for their replacement through warranty.

    <a href="http://www.jinsu-power.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jinsu-power.com/</a> has the ksports for cheaper. I would definitely suggest getting a warranty on whatever you buy. never know when they'll blow. thats why i went with kyb struts instead.

    dude, don't buy parts from superautobacs, they'll rip you off like 10% at least. superautpobacs is there if you need something you cant find at autozone.

    there are better options than JIC...JIC is mediocre for a full coilover setup.

    okey i'll do some of the easy homework for you guys...
    i was looking at "hyper rev" magazine and other places, i found these coilovers you can get but it's baller prices. Toda Fightex, CUSCO, C-one, D2, JIC, Tein, K-sport, and i think thats about it. prices range between 1000-3000 dollars. have fun.

    see...i've been looking in the wrong places, apparently, because i STILL can't find Cusco coilovers available for sale online.

    is there any way you'd be willing to PM me, since you're unwilling to share publicly?

    wei, you might want to correct your website. it says the ksports are good for 88-99 corollas, but USDM 00-02 Corollas have an identical suspension.

    welcome to the forum. :)

    Ya i know. Ksport just updated with all the model years. When ordering just put the model year in the comment section so we know which one is which. I will update the website later.
    Thanks

    BTW, I will post an order link in the GB thread for vvti.net only pricing.
