1983 Toyota Corolla Coilover Tutorial

Спорт

I'll show you how to install a set of 06-11 Civic coilovers on your *e series Corolla.
*You may have clearance issues with a stock wheel setup. As long as you're close to the specs I've listed below, you shouldn't have any clearance issues.
Wheel specs: 15x9 -15 all around with 225/45 Federals

    Nice work..!! I also did the same thing In my kp61 but I used coil overs for a Hyundai I was able to redrill the camper plates and I can adjust camber.. the ride in my car it’s very firm but the car handles great..!! Next it’s my te72 I’m going to purchase the same coilovers that you used..

    Nice build you have going! Is the Civic damper short stroke or full stroke compare to stock?

  • @sk2golfs

    @sk2golfs

    4 жыл бұрын

    Definitely going to be shorter stroke compared to stock. My car went from having 4-5'' of travel (which was resulting in tons of body roll and a really harsh ride because the struts/shocks were blown). It now has maybe 2-3'' of travel with a much firmer spring and working struts/shocks.

I have pictures of yours saved for inspiration of what I want to do to mine. I have my IS300 I’ve wanted for awhile but I want an old car to build and build tough.
