Or what about this package?

KYB Struts are more of an OEM replacement, so they will tend to ride like stock, the Tokicos are a bit stiffer but still comfortable for daily driving, so it depends on your preferences.

It also depends on your budget.

I just want to drop my car. And these say that the shocks and springs are matched so I can switch everything one time.

 

Get the KYBs+ Vogtland springs package, you can't really go wrong for that price.

 

So you guys recomend the KYB's?

What if I buy lowering springs but just buy KYB's just
for the back for the sagging. If the KYB's a OEM shocks then should it be OK? or should all shocks be replaced?

Also, do I need to buy the "boots" I think they're called?

 

If you're doing all four springs, do all four struts. It's no additional labor that way.

I got new boots and mounts when I did mine

 

I think my suspension is in pretty good shape. Is just the height I don't like and the back sags, but I think a 8th gen Corollas' stock suspension have that problem. I was also looking at camber correction kits. But what else might I need? I was going to take it to a shop for the installation.

 

sagging suspensions is usually from worn struts. i suggest you replace them all at once to avoid headaches in the future. eibach makes an adjustable camber bolt.... you can pick them up from the tire rack. you'll need an alignment right after you lower it to make sure that you don't eat up your tires.

 

Yeah I was looking at those camber kits but from another site though. So KYB's,vogland springs and the camber kit. And boots. I'll do this when I get enough money. Thanks!

 

Wait I realized it would take me a heck of a long time to save up for coilovers. So would the KYB package be enough for aggressive driving? Because I think I might go with these.

 

I know nothing about those springs. Personally I'd go with Tein, H&R or Eibach for springs. Unless someone else can verify they have 30k+ miles on those Vogtlands.

But yes, KYBs, Teins, and either the Whiteline or Hotchkiss swaybar would be enough suspension for autocrossing/fun road driving.

And don't over look the brakes.

 

Thanks man, that'll give me something to think about because I've never heard anything about vogland. But I think I'll try um out. And I'm looking at brakes too, maybe some slotted rotors.

 

Wow never heard of Vogtlands? Very good reputable company. It's actually a much better spring than Tein's. They never sag and maintain the same spring constant. They're very popular in Europe. I would stick with that setup.

 

Hey thanks rollatuner! You give me confidence to buy the KYB/ vogland setup. I'll stick with that then. :thumbsup:

 

KYB Gr2 on stock springs

Hey guys has anyone tried using the gr2s with stock springs?? are there any problems with doing this i mean will i run into alignment issues or something? I put some monroe sensatracs on the rear about a year ago and I was wondering if I could keep those for a while. can I mix the setup or would it be better for me to just buy gr2s for all four corners?

 

You'll be fine with KYB's and stock springs. No alignment issues. It's exactly the same. However, after you install the new struts, you will have to get an alignment anyways. Keep in mind that KYB GR2's are supposed be factory replacement struts so the ride won't change. It will still maintain the stock ride(which is too soft if you ask me. ). The only difference between stock and KYB's is that KYB's can handle the extra spring tension of lowering springs without blowing out. So if you plan on lowering the car later, get the KYB's all around. If you're not lowering, then just replacing the front two would be fine. Hope that helps.

 

I wouldn't recommended mixing and matching struts for safety's sake.

Change all 4 at once. Same brand.

 

2nd, and old springs can be re-used, provided they're not cracked or rusted. Did fine for me when I replaced mine in my 95 with 250k on original springs.

 

thanks guys for all the input but time and money constraints for now are making me choose quickly... the Gr2s would be good only if I were to drop the car which if I were to drop I want to put some coilovers like buddy club or k sport plus my buddys saving some whiteline RSBs for me

 

You're not reading the replies correctly:
GR-2's will not drop the car, they can handle dropped springs, but they're a stock (OEM) replacement strut. If you use stock springs, your ride height will not change.

 

I put the KYB GR2 on my 99 Camary and the ride is pretty good but if I had to do it again I would have also repalced the coil springs as the ride is a little soft.Dont forget the front strut bearings and rear strut mounts.Good luck

 

Question about KYB GR-2 Struts....

Im getting some S-Tech Tein springs, and was looking into KYB GR-2 struts. Now my question is why are the years of the vehicles all different?

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/performanceparts/Toyota/Corolla/Suspension/Shocks

The fronts are 93-01?
The rear are 93-00? WTF? lol

I have an 02 does that mean I can't get these? These years seem all messed up to me. Arn't 98-2002 corolla's suspensions all the same?

Oh by the way are these guys good to buy from?

 

Suspension parts between 1993-2002 are interchangeable.

Those prices are okay.... but not the best. Look up "jdmwerks13" on ebay.

 

Also keep in mind the drop with S.Techs are pushing the KYB-GR2 past their design specs. They'll still work - but their optimally design for suspensions with less than a 1.7" drop. Those S.Techs, after settling, usually are in the 2"+ range and they tend to sag over time. Even a little "heavier" strut, like Tokico Blues have that greater than 1.7" drop warning.

 

I guess 17inch rims wouldn't fit with S tech tein springs huh? What springs would be good with KYB struts then?

 

something milder like H-techs or Eibach Pro-kit springs

S-techs are more suited to Tokico HPs and/or Koni Yellows

 

sorry to answer at an old thread

If you want more information about this kit , just add me on Messenger : Yanlapanic@... com

I got this shock

Its better than my used one ... stiffer , not too stiff with stock wheel

 

KYB Struts

Well the struts on my corolla are finally being replaced. A guy recommended putting KYB struts on my car for all four wheels. Any comments about these struts? They do have a lifetime ware and tare warranty and he is selling them to me for 175.00 a piece.

175 a piece is too much

I paid about 70 or 80 .
check out ebay .

I dont think you will need to replace them so you dont need to have warranty in my opinions.

 

They're good OEM replacement struts.

That price is way too high for basic struts. You can get them very inexpensively off ebay.

I just bought 2 rear KYB GR2 rear struts for $120 shipped..moderate DIY

 

I'm going for the tokico's when I do my wife's corolla - had KYB's on my old jetta and they didn't hold up too well. E-bay has sets of tokico's for around 450-500 including shipping to Canada. Just stay away from UPS for shipping - their brokerage fees = highway robbery.
