So.. all the coilover kits are saying FWD, im not finding any that list for the AWD. From searching here I can see the awd is different in the rear. Im wondering what setups people are going with? Im finding some old threads where someone had setup a 00's celica coil overs but cant find too many details on it. Wondering if there is a common kit people are using more recently?

I deleted my prior post because my initial information was wrong. I just found this out the hard way.

The AWD has a different height and heavier spring.

So were not even able to use the fronts of the fwd? Dang, weird they make it for fwd but nobody is doing the awd

It seems hit or miss. I gave up trying to retrofit. Check out this thread. Might be a good place to start.

Finally 09 Matrix Lowering Springs--

I found some Matrix lowering springs that lowers the font by 1.8 and rear by 1.5 inches in case anyone has been looking for some. Follow the following link.... http://www.progressauto.com/products/searchType/vehicleSearch/year/2009/make/Toyota/model/Matrix/sfID1/71/sfID2/61/sfID3/117

i dont see why your trying to retro fit stuff. monroe has complete front assemblys. the rears they only sell the the shock and body assembly. from the old assembly youll need to swap over the rear coils with spring compessor from a parts store. i did it last summer and it wasnt very difficult

Not able to adjust height on stock strut and spring setup? I’m looking for mainly adjustable coilovers, not looking to just refresh my suspension.
