Ok, in answer to your questions:
1. You can pull the ball joints off the struts, and play with them... if they are hard, then they are generally shot. If they have a fairly soft feel to them, they should be good. I'm not too sure if it is only the fronts that have this problem (I only have SS on front, MacPherson on rear)
2. The SS aint too bad... gives you a better feel on the Corollas, but if you are hell-bent on changing them, go with the MacPherson type strut that came on all of the other AE101/2's. Oh, and if you do change... can i have your rear super struts?
I'll even swap you my complete set for your complete set
The only disadvantage with that, is you have to get the calipers and rotors from the front and the drums on the back as they are mounted differently.
3. It will blow hot air. Take it to the a/c specialist for that.
4. It will be behind the ignition barrel, cant tell you what colour it is, coz my car is in getting an alarm installed. Will let you know when i get my book back (tis in the car).
Hope this helps.
