'82 what model, 4dr, hatch back, coupe, wagon, what?

Good find with only 85K. Try over at:

For front struts, springs and brakes the whole strut from the 85-87 GTS corolla bolts right in and has more after market parts.

For carbs most go with dual sidedrafts, downdraft webers or EFI. But it takes knowledge to tune properly.

well its a 82 coupe and what about the rear springs i mean can i get springs for that???

[Hemi3TC]

The rear springs for the 85-87 GTS will fit the 82 Corolla.

If your 82 Corolla is a late manufacturing date? it will have the same oval strut supports as the GTS. ( The studs fit into the top of the strut tower where it looks oval instead of round) Then the front springs will also fit. But if you have the round strut supports then you need the GTS strut assemble and your round strut supports.

You should just get shocks , Tokico shocks are the best value/performance. Look on Ebay.


Struts should cost you a few grand with springs and brakes, etc..
