Suspension for Corolla AWD 89 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

frtqc · 05-04-2003, 09:14 PM

I have a Toyota Corolla AWD 89 use for car rally. I would like to improve the suspension. Can some one suggest me possibilities. I know that my suspensions are registered by applications and not by configuration.

Thanks for your help.

Hello MalooMan,

No, we have sedan corolla AWD. The only thing that we can tell is that Toyota in general are good cars. We do rally with de Corolla and it's simple to repear.

Bye!

Im thinking of getting me 1 of these 4WD Corollas and moding it for drifting so i can do some 4wd drifts. Am i a stupid head for wanting to do this?

I thought drifting was only attained with RWD cars??

As for the suspension question, some adjustable struts would do the job.. since you can setup for soft, medium and stiff setups, they would be great for different terrains. you would probably go thru a few sets though, depending on how much torture you put them through. I remember seeing adjustable struts for AE92 Corollas, I'll see if I can find the name and I'll let you know.. I think they were Tokicos.. but not 100% sure.

yeah you can drift in a 4WD car! it is a bit gif to a RWD drift but i think it looks cool. you can have the car comp sideways and bring it back inline coz the front wheels and back are spinning and the front wheels pull you back in while the rear wheels keep you sliding.
