The Everything You Need To Know Thread!
I know that there are a bunch of threads out there with information on our Corolla, So I thought it'd be nice if it was all on one thread and I can keep updating this periodically as new information comes along!
It took me a while to pick and pull all this information, but I think it would be much easier to navigate through a thread like this and find the information needed. If you have anything you would like to add, please just notify me and post accurate information and photo's please!

Q) How hard is the installation of Lowering Springs?
A) If you have any kind of automotive and mechanical knowledge, you shouldn't have a problem. We have a DIY here on the site to help you out!

Handling & Bars!
Bars can definitely change the handling of a car tremendously! It's very flat in the turns like on & off ramps & a very different car from stock. Suspension also plays a big part in handling as well, changing our your stock springs, adding new coilovers can add to it!
Best Set-Up so far:
Your Choice of Springs
TRD RSB
TRD Front USB
UR 19mm RSB
UR Rear Upper Strut Brace
UR Lower Front 3-pt Chassis Brace
UR Lower Rear 2-pt Chassis Brace
