Need some advice...aftermarket parts - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

ryntaylor24 · 08-07-2011, 01:28 PM

So I am finally saving some money up again and want to do add a couple more aftermarket parts to my car. I really want to stance my car out (springs, spacers..) I am stuck though I know 9th gen corolla tien springs will fit onto our cars but are they nice springs with a good feel? I also want a flush look from fender to rim and tire, how big of a spacer will I need for a nice for a even look on my car?
Also in the market for a new intake and possibly header...Will someone please inform me on the best models for our cars? Thanks.
I honestly would be doing research on these topics but I only have limited time on the internet.
A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciate, also if anyone is interested in selling parts please pm me or respond back.
Thanks again...

1.8L 2ZR-FE Aftermarket Parts List - Official Aftermarket Parts Thread

10thGen - Everything You Need To Know - Everything You Need to Know
Contains pictures of springs and their drop.

As for spacers, I heard 25mm spacers all around work well for stance.

Intakes...K&N, Weapon R, Takeda, and Injen are what I've read most of the members here use. It's within the aftermarket parts thread for all the choices that fit.

I know one of the members, Dimaoala, has a Weapon-R Header. But if you want to score a deal, RPM right now is having a group buy on their Headers and midpipes, just locate the thread. Or refer to the aftermarket parts thread for anything you were thinking of buying for your 'rolla.

Good Luck!

Thanks man I appreciate it, 25mm seems big. You sure that there will be no need to roll fenders with that drastic of a stance change?
Thanks again...

I tried them on and they were pretty nice with the stock alloys
I know it was before the drop I have but I have a pic somewhere...hold up

with the front left wheel with the tein S techs(not low b/c it was only on that one wheel) but even with more of a drop it wouldn't/shouldn't rub

but I'm getting 20mm spacers in the future

25mm later.. - here's a thread with a member on 25mm. Looks pretty sweet and even lower than msn's own...not that it's any better lol I'd prolly go with the eibachs and 25mms...pretty sure there won't be any reason to rub

Where did you purchase the spacers? You currently have 25mm spacers and said you want to get 20mm? Maybe we can set up a little buy sell & buy here??

It will depend on the offset & width of the aftermarket wheels that you buy that will determine the size of the spacer you will need.

sorry bud I forgot to mention that these were another members spacers

my bad.

But you can get them on ebay. the 20mm set is $80 each so 160 total I'll be set...I'm sure 25mm will be close in price

EDIT: found them! and they are the same price!

coilovers, you can go adjust the height according to what you want the height to be, adjust how the car rides, either soft or rough ride.

If you're going to flush your car give your car a finger or a little bit less gap so you can push your wheels out.
what are your wheel specs?

Once your nice and low, Your car will slowly flow with the other mods you'd probably like to get (roof spoiler, LED tails, turbo...=] )

Thank you everyone, you are all so helpful. I appreciate it...if any of you have some used springs for sale lemme know. I am trying to go with tein.
