Suspension Upgrade

[Des]

ok people i have a ae82 seca its got superlow king springs and new gas ryder shocks.the front shockies bottom out lots over small bumps the back is good doesnt bottom out at all.so if any one has any suggestions about the front that would help heaps

[MYSTIK[RL]]

imho chuck the superlows out the windows as they are for looks only and get ur self a set of kings lows.

 

my 2c worth with inflation = 5c :dance:

[Des]

do u know what the ride height of super lows are and the ride height of lows. cheers

[MYSTIK[RL]]

king lows are roughly 30 - 40 mm lower and kings superlows are below that not sure how low though

[Mr Revhead[RL]]

throw the kings away

get a decent brand

 

in oz id go for whiteline

[MYSTIK[RL]]

is this gonna turn into a hate session on kings? coz i mean i havent had a problem with my king lows and they are over 3 years old now.

 

also its personal preference what others use :hmm:

[Mr Revhead[RL]]

more of a fact session

 

iv found that 99% of people who like kings have never tried anything else

custom ftw :hmm:

this is the first car that i have started to change suspension components and kings where recommended by goodyear so i went them, havent had a prob with the super lows except there too low looks sweet but undrivable.cheers

I've got the supalows and yeah the guys are right it's gonna take more modding to make it a nice fit but mine don't bottom out at all really... Did you shorten your bump-stops when you installed it? I had this recommended by a pro installer who i got the springs from and yeah no probs here, until i got the 17's, now i have to roll my rears, but that's a another story... Oh i also reckon that it'll take more than springs and shocks to get your corolla to handle more like a sports car...just a fact that these cars (mostly) weren't made to be driven the way that i (and i imagine many of you) like to drive. That's just from my experience with it so far (2 years and counting...)

 

Best of luck with the direction you take!
