thanks bro, at the moment im thinking i should leave it as it is... its got the following on it already
1) custom CAI to fit the original induction box
2) lowered
3) front strut bar (a thin one that is different from what seen from other front struts)
4) supposedly a $2000 sound system... (I just ported my newer head unit i had in my old Cortina =P)
He said that the front struts that go near the back of the chasis isn't neccessary the best place to put it. (i think most of the corollas have it in this thread) I didn't really notice it until he pointed it out.
I'll post some pictures up to show you guys what I mean, AFTER i clean the car lol...
For some reason, his sportivo handles so much better compared to the others, the other 4 i drove before i bought this one all had the front strut attached to the usual place. Any reason for this u think???
edit: I just looked at the engine, it hasn't got any front struts... He did mention something that when lowered, it really doesnt need a front or rear strut as it's already stiff on the tight turns. reading abit in the forums, everyone is pretty confident about the ride handling when it comes to front and rear struts.
I guess if your really gonna race then sway bars will definetely make a difference. I look more into a more comfortable ride and handling under "normal" everyday driving with "a bit of fun" at times when i'm bored
