My girlfriend is going to buy a '95 Corolla and I already have plans for it...lol. Anyways, I'm looking to get the 96-97 red/clear tailights for her but I was wondering if its a straight bolt on. Any input would be great appreciated. And also, I want her to get a mild drop (1.5-2.0") , where do I begin to look? I tried to look ebay to give me an idea but not really any luck. Some say 93 all the way through to 03, is that true?

They should bolt on, I traded a fascia panel from a 96 for one from a 93 and ran into no issues.

The year range is also correct. 88-03 is probably also an acceptable range. Eibach Pro-Kit springs give a good overall drop (visible in my sig) and are the TRD parts. They have a progressive rate which means the ride isn't excessively harsh, but some have said they're the stiffest aftermarket springs that are readily available...

I saw a bunch of H&R springs for 93-97 corollas on ebay :shrug:
You might also want to replace the shocks if you are going to drop it. Otherwise the stock shocks will blow out quickly from the stiffer rates of the new springs. Bilsteins or Konis would be my choice...or if you're on a budget, KYBs or Tokicos are good choices.
Personally, I like my amber/red/white taillights lol..not as common as the red and white ones.

^yup, the clear red taillights on the "newer" cars are not such a great look to me.

Not sure why you would want to drop it, it's already a pain to get in and out of.

Don't go Konis unless you've got all four original struts. Trust me on this.

93-95 have different body lines in the lens, so you will need to get all three pieces, either the tails with red /white center or the silver center for the same year. Other wise if you just get the lights, the trunk panel will stick out like a sore wort!
