2006 toyota corolla same as ___

Hello, im new here, i've looked around for a little bit and was wondering. well i have a 2006 toyota corolla and im having trouble finding aftermarket parts for it; suspension in general. I work at a local autozone so i know that two cars even if they're a different make often use the same parts, drivetrains, etc... im wondering if there are any cars out that that are similar to the '06 corolla, perferable suspension wise. I've looked around with minimal luck . I've found that i can match up sway bar diameters for a sway bar bushing, but no end links or things like that. help would be greatly appreciated.

03-08 corolla suspension is all the same and will all work. engine mods will also work 99% of the time, but there are subtle differences in the 03/04 to the 05-08 engines.

But...if you're searching for parts, you can go back as far as 2003 and u'll be ok.

sway bar end links and i've seen a few pictures with a TRD rear sway bar, however couldn't seem to find them. I wouldn't mind finding the bushing that connects to the sway bar to the frame also.

not sure about the endlinks since I don't plan on changing out the front swaybar, but as for the rear, i just got my Progress rear swaybar in today. I think the trd rear sway may have been discontinued, a lot of the trd stuff for 9th gen corollas has been discontinued unfortunately. you may be able to find a used one though. as for the bushings, you can check out this site called monkeywrenchracing.com they have a bunch of performance parts for corolla/matrix, celicas, MR-2's, and lotus'. they have Energy Suspension kits for stuff like the front sway, rear axle bushing kit, motor mounts, etc.
