AE92: springs

[homeguard]

You guys got any recommendations on springs. Its an 88 sedan, the current set of springs are stock with 235k miles on them: / so they don’t work to well. I’m not looking to lower, maybe even heighten it a bit. I'm just sick of everyone lowering there car, it is over done.

Espelir Active Down Springs... Got those, ride really firm.

[REN69]

We don't get Espelirs in North america unless you order them from overseas.. that's a lot of $$$$$. Maybe some Apex, Suspension Techniques or Eibach's would do.. I think B&G makes Corolla springs too.

so whats the lbs/dimensions on the stock springs?

edit: for 88 sedan

You're not going to find aftermarket springs that don't lower the car. The least drop you can get is probably Eibachs at about 1.2 inches or so.
Unless you get height adjustable coil-overs such as those made by Ground Controll, you can order custom spring-rates from them as well.

I'm curious as well. What's the factory spring rate on the sedan cars Vs. SR5's Vs. Gt-s's?

I'd like to know the factory spring rate on any car.

I tried to find mine for ages but gave up. The stupid service manager at the dealer didn't even know.

It's probably proprietary information or something.

Right on. That's probably even a little stiffer than a Corolla.

[slack3r]

anyone know the spring rates for this? just got this sparco springs for ae92/ae101/ae111





i've used RS*R, TRD (waydo), TRD springs but I am not satisfied with the drop... can't seem to find fresh espilir springs or tanabe precedeo superdown springs here they give the best drop for me
