Where to buy S-Techs for my 2010 Corolla-S?

Is everyone using the S-Techs that are labeled for the 03-08 Corollas?

And does anyone have any sites they recommend to get them cheapest at? Thanks!

the 03-08 s-techs are the cheapest and give a lower drop. Not everyone has em but alot if not most are using the 9th gen ones cause they still fit. As far as pricing goes, i think your best bet if to look around on ebay. p.s. Im getting dropzone springs...same if not a lil bit lower drop with a stiffer ride =P (and you can find em for only $80 on ebay )

im pretty sure theres only 2 people on here have 10thgen springs and it still looks alright.
but yeah if you wanna low drop = no gap, then the 9th gen ones are the way to go.

some people are using dropzone springs already and i think someone is using ksport springs also which have a little less drop but definitely a stiffer spring.

Never even heard of DropZone until Drummer joined the forum. I'd stick to brands that I know that are good with the Corolla. Tein, H&R, Eibach, & TRD. 9thGen Springs do fit, but the quality won't be as good because our cars are heavier and the Xrs is even more. If I could go back, I'd probably choose the S-Techs that are actually made for the 10thGen.

FYI I'm currently on 9thGen H-Techs and it looks like the same drop as the 10thGen S-Techs.
