gts suspension on sedan?

[ae92boi]

What suspension parts from a gts will fit on a sedan?


i know the strut tower bar fits but what else?

is it possible to convert the rears to disk from the gts as well?

[TwinCamGuy]

Yeah gts suspension fits.I had a complete rear disc and suspension pieces for sale.Some guy from norcal is picking it up this tuesday.he's putting it on a 91 sedan.

Rear struts are the same as far as I know... fronts are serviceable cartridge on the GTS so as long as you have the GTS housing you can use it on a sedan.

so im guessing the sway bars will fit?


are the gts sway bars beefyer than a regular dx?

[92MX83]

DXs didn't even come with sway bars.

You'll have to look in to this, for I'm not sure how it is with the sedan. But I've got a set of GTi Hubs (Disc brakes etc, same as GT-S).
But before I can put it on my Hatchback, I need the arms, that connect to the hub and the chassis that run from front to back if you know what I mean.
No idea how to call them in English. Rear trailing arms perhaps???

The connection on the bar that goes on to the hub has a different size (I think it was not wide enough from memory) There are ways to modify this, but if you can get the bar along with the hubs, it shouldn't be a problem

Everything else should line up and fit if you have everything complete of the other car.

I have a related question, will the GTS suspension fit on a Wagon? How about the coilovers from Ksport, will they and other aftermarket suspension fit on a wagon?

I'm about to purchase the Ksport kit, but I'm waiting to ensure it'll fit.

the front arms fit, the rear arms are the problem, they're smaller on the drum brakes. I'm 95% sure (never actually tried it) that you can just use a second set of front arms for the rear arms and they should bolt right up to the GT-S discs (this is if you can't find a GT-S)

also, yes, any strut or springs or coilovers will fit all corollas (I'm not 100% sure on wagons, but I think they should) the only exception is GT-Ses with servicable struts are the only ones that can have koni yellow cartridges dropped in.

(I've heard some other cars have servicable struts, but I think they're different. koni has 2 different front catridges on their site, so those might work, but you can't get them for the rears I don't think.)

Yes the wagon is a go as long as it's not an ALLTRAC as those have different suspension also... I believe the ALLTRACs also had serviceable struts, different from the GTS (which could explain the 2 Koni parts)

soo what can i use to stiffen my chassis up a little from the gts??

other than struts...

front and rear sway bars along with the strut tower bar should do nicely

I am said "Some guy" and have pickup the parts. Thank you TwinCam!

I probably won't be installing them too soon, but I'll try to update when I do. If I remember I'll try to point out each minute difference.

Also on the servicable front strut issue. I know for my own experience, there are two different servicable strut casings that fit AE92s. One is thinner that KYB GR-2s fit into and the other is thicker that the tockico HPs fit into. I've only gotten thicker ones off of GTSes (2 cars) the thicker ones I got off of an SR5 in the junkyard so nobody knows where they originally came off of. So if you find strut casings and want to put in Tockicos or something meant for GTSs, then they should measure 2in OD on the tube.

Ok, this is what I have to say about this. I just looked today at my parts and there are three different arms per side on the GTS rear suspension. The two transverse bars differ on the chassis side from each other and the trailing arm differs in on both sides. The side on the trailing arm that connects to the hub is wider than the transverse bars where they connect to the hub. All three chassis connections are different from each other. Hope this clears anything up. I haven't looked at the sedan suspension yet. When I do the swap, I'll report more.

AFAIK, the rear suspension of the All-Trac(4wd) version of the car is the same as an AE86 SR5

do you need to do modifications on installing the sway bars? or do they just bolt right up?
