I had a look on the King Springs website and they only do them for the front too. An option instead of cutting your springs is to compress them. It's a lot safer than cutting them, and will more than likely be legal where you live (or at least a lot less frowned upon than cutting them). Give some workshops a call and see what they have to say.

Thumbs up

hey man, i know this is a little late, i havent been on toyotanation in a long time, but you have a 80 corolla a te72. wells if you want to do suspension, your in luck cuz almost every company out there makes suspension for you car. everything in ur car, bolt to bolt, is the same as a AE86 so buy ae86 parts, shoot throw in the 4age hi comp too. your car is rocking all same shocks, springs, rear end(go with 86 LSD disc) down to your 2 or 3tc motor(same mounts as 4age.) itll all bolt up and its all guna be a upgrade. so if your looking for some coil over spring, i think ebay had some for sale for $150 and get your self some adjustable tokicos for $500 and some camber plates $120 and make your self your own coilovers for about $770 or so. beats paying $1200 for a premade coil over set, all the ae guys i know are making their own coilovers, and when the strut blows you just replace the strut not the unit. also one more thing to add, if you want to keep your stock motor, run some webber side draft carbs on it, youll love it i guarantee it. i hope this helped you out somewhat, GL with the car man.

oh yeah if you want the most outta the suspension too, i suggest you get mr2 front strut and mustang rear struts short strokes. and get a manual rach and find a ae86 gts or a aw11 knuckle and bolt them together for better drifting angels if your looking into drifting. ill add more if i remeber more.
