Toyota Corolla NZE Shocks

joe_d_boss · Postby **joe_d_boss** » September 6th, 2009, 2:18 pm

I have to change my front shocks in my local NZE. How good are the Kayaba Japanese-made replacement shocks? I am getting them for $495.00 each. Anyone have suggestions other than the original shocks from TTTL? What does the original from TTTL cost by the way? Thanks!

Use KYB shocks made for the 110/111. They work great with the OEM springs.

NZE has a significantly taller ride height.

Guys, kicking this thread up again...

Have an NZE141 1.5L 1NZ-FE VVTi 2008 (Local) from TTTL, and wanted to revamp the suspension to improve comfort.

Right now I have installed:
- KYB ExcelGs
- TRD lowering springs (rated for 1inch drop)
- 18inch rims
- 225/40RZ18 tires
Ride has always been rough... The TRD springs has always been stiff and tbh now the KYBs are shot...

All I want is a comfortable ride with an 1" drop in original ride height... any improvement in handling would be a bonus.

Coilovers may not be the way forward for me here... Ive heard the softest setting is still stiffer than a strut/spring setup.

So I am looking for:
1) A Strut/Spring combo that would do this for me --> 1" drop, close to factory ride.
2) Local shops who can source the above.
