Those were for a 35mm drop yeah? Don't be too disheartened if it still isn't low enough for you. It'd do you for the time being until you went for say, a 50mm drop w. replacement shocks (KYB's or koni yellow's etc like stated before). My car was fine on a 35mm drop for 2 years, no probs.

Yep just on stock shocks. They're fine. In all honesty 50mm springs with the stock shocks is fine but they do wear out faster (about a 1 year before replacing them give or take).

I will be honest in saying that I was no where near happy with the ride height on a 35mm drop. My mates kept joking with me saying that I never did lower it in the first place it was that bad.

But if u consider the good n bad side of 50mm drop..the only good thing is that it looks better..

well this is debatable..depends on what u r really lookin for..

i`m gonna go with 35mm i think :P

[jayrome]

look, just go coilovers so you can adjust the height that your happy with... lol

The lower the centre of gravity the better the car handles ay. Obviously there are several other factors that contribute to a decent handling ride on the street / track, but that is one of them. My coilovers were kept at a 35 mm drop for the drive back from sydney, and I can safely say that it was still 'top heavy' in terms of going around a corner. Richo, a mate of ours here in Canberra, had his stivo on a 50mm drop. I drove it once and noticed immediately that it felt more present going around corners. 'Some' bodyroll is needed still, but you don't want a tone of it lol.

That was one of the reasons why I got coilovers. They aren't as stiff as people claim either once they're setup right for the street. My '77 Escort is twice as rough as the Corolla, and it's running a lovells / koni spring and shock combo.

[Jay.]

with 17inch rims, you should get some king springs superlows, that'll drop about 50-55mm, giving it a much sexier stance, like mine :)

35mm drop will still make your car look lik a 4WD. Period lol.

You can kill two birds with one stone by saving up for better shocks and work them with a set of 50mm springs which would make it handle better, and make it look hot.

yep i agree.. i still have super lows with stock shocks and they are great looks wise and ok for every day driving, the only reason i will be changing suspension soon is because i want to start getting on the track :D
