fellas i want to lower my ride ( 2002 corolla) i looking for some coilovers
could any one assist me in locating a set thanks

Any particular reason for wanting coil-overs vs Springs?

simply i have the possiblity of raising or lowering when i choose too .
if not the springs will do , i dont know who sells it though

Better to use good lowering springs than coilovers.

Coilovers require a much more intricate setup and balance than lowering springs

I suggest you check out Tein S-Techs or H-Techs, Eibach pro or B+G lowering springs.

who have these springs ?

That is not necessarily true. Coilovers balance out the natural uneveness of cars. Most cars I see here lowered on springs have one side of car 1/2" to 3/4" lower on one side than the other. Coilovers help fix that.

Problem is Coilovers are made for tuner or sports cars in most cases. I dont know how successful you will be in finding corolla coilovers or springs.

^^by that you mean for example the left side lower than the right side? Don't recall seeing to much of that. Maybe its something you dont see if you don't look for it.

He can find lots of cheap coilover sleeves and there are set of expensive Tein or Cusco coilovers for nze/zze series corollas.

fellas i bought a set of S TECH tein springs it working better than i imagined also it looks damn good too ....

There are four basic methods of lowering a vehicle with lift springs,the first and most extreme is to remove the springs and reinstall them upside down,then lower the front to match,that vehicle will be about two inches from the ground which is just too low for the non-userfriendly roads of T&T. The second method is by removing secondary lifts one at a time untill you achieve the desired height, this is like cutting coils off a spring it lowers the car but it rides like a tank. the third method involves removing all the lifts except the main lift which keeps the differential in place and welding plates on the chassis and diff to hold coil springs and then cutting the coils to achieve the desired height,it will still ride like a tank. THe fourth and prefered method is the use of lowering blocks. First you must know how much you want to lower it by eg two inches,three inches etc, then you have a machine shop make the blocks out of steel or iron.The top of the block should have a hole in it big enough to allow the bottom of the kingbolt to fit and lock in place and the bottom of the block should have a dowell that locks into the base plate. you will have to extend your U-clamps to cater to the height of the bundle of lifts and the block under it the advantage of this method is that no matter how much you lower the vehicle it will still ride as if it were normal height since the entire bundle of springs remain functional. This method may require the services of a skilled metal fabricator but it is definitely worth the time and effort.

Thanks man.
