Being able to adjust the ride height while maintaining shock travel is one of the perks to having coilovers, but to each their own.

Just make sure it comes with some gaskets. You might have to buy a new O2 senor and some spring bolts....ah...you should just get eBay headers...save some money....

speaking of OBX headers, what is the difference between the corolla 98-00 and the 01-02 obx headers..im asking because they're listed as separate headers...i thought they would make 1 header for 98-02 corollas

Seconded on the coilovers. KSports Kontrol Pro should run about $800 or so and give you more flexibility in suspension setups than S-Techs and GR-2s (which are right about factory stiffness anyway). JIC FLT-A2s are about $1600, but reviewers seem to think they're worth the dough.

Also, Whiteline (based in Australia but with US distributors) makes front and rear swaybars.

i dunno. maybe the introduction of VVT-i made a difference. Could be different 02 sensor postion too.
