Springs help!!! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Alright i have a 1991 sedan dx corolla.
I'm in need of springs I would like to pull them from a junkyard but I don't have time as school AND work conflict with junkyard schedules -_- so I was wondering if there were cheap springs available on the net? Most preferribly some drop springs of sorts? I looked into some eibach springs, cost about $300 plus shipping. I found that too high! I'm looking to just buy springs and drop them in. I'm hoping to find some for around 200 with shipping. Yes I am cheap. I'm just looking for better quality than autozone springs because I can get then at 20% off. But I'm willing to pay some moneyif they are good quality springs. I don't care if they're stock height. I just need springs!!! >.<

I think APEX springs are about $165 + shipping and they're nice.

A 1.6 drop sounds good. Considering my shut is cut so it feels like 2 -_-

But hmm not a bad price. But do youthink the quality is good?

I ran them for a while, I liked them, I only changed because I needed stiffer springs for autocross.

hmmm... maybe they've changed, I had two sets of APEX one on each GTS and they were great, never sagged. Once they settled they dropped a little more than the 1.6inch.

I emailed apex cause I didn't see the springs on the order form. They sent me back an email with a link saying whatever is on this page is what we have available. They have one for corolla 1.6-1.8 the thin is this form doesn't have car years! Can someone confirm if these will fit my 91 sedan ?

there is a link to order them on that form... you have to order them through APEX suspension Canada.

Ohh ok! Cool I will order them this week and hopefully get them in before the month ends to put them on before my graduation date. I need proper balanced springs not shitty cut -_- thanks alot! I'll let y'all know what happens!

Ok so here's an update. I ended up getting the apex springs through andy's autosports. I didn't hve the patience to deal with the canadians. So the total cost was around $225 shipped. Ok that happened on may 21st Saturday . I thought everything was fine until today when I got a phone call from them and they informed me that apex apparently doesn't make them anymore -_- so he offered me the b&gs ,,, so I took them. They were like $4 cheaper (yay a gallon of gas) lol but that's what happened. Anyone can vouch for b&g?
