Does corolla sportivo come stock with king springs?

Is the corolla sportivo stock springs lower than normal corolla stock springs? and how much by?

Is it worth it to put sportivo stock springs in a normal corolla?

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

Buy Lovells / Pedders / Kings / Whiteline / Tein etc. They come in various drops, the most common being 35mm or 50mm (if you want your car to sit nice and low).

Changing the shocks is recommended with a 50mm drop.

By the way, Wenny, if you go to the home page and scroll down, there is a banner saying Suspension and Brakes, once in that section, look up and see the SEARCH button. Read up a little before asking, just a tip :)

Thats the part number for the Sportivo option spring from Toyota. From memory it lowers by something in the 20mm range.

Yeah by 10-15mm. Different suspension to the 1ZZ cars.

common sense says that the sports model (sportivo) should sit lower you would think.

could the reason behindtoyotas decision be roll center or something ??

Nah I think the springs are a stiffer and the shocks have a bit more stroke... Though I have nothing to back that up. Keep in mind Sportivo was built by the Saffa's and the 1ZZ's built by the Japanese.

Could be many reasons. They might have wanted a longer stroke length, thought most people might be more willing to load more people in over the zze122, or the test driver said it was better being slightly higher for whatever reason he liked.

But build quality is NOT the reason for the ride height difference. Please remember that the South African's only built the Sportivo, the parts were still designed and manufactured in Japan.

The South African's were only the assemblers....

Points to note...

  • Sportivo standard ride height is 10-15mm HIGHER than 1ZZ models.
  • Sportivo 'Option' springs were designed to bring the SPortivo the a ride height similar to that of the 1ZZ models (no drop rate was ever advertised with them)
  • Sportivo standard setup is a stiffer combo that the 1ZZ standard setup
  • Stock Sportivo shocks work well with a 30mm drop
  • Greater than 30mm drop will require new shocks or you will blow the a$$ out of them
  • Most insurance companies will not insure Corollas (any ZZE12x) with a drop of greater than 30mm as this will reduce your ride height to less than the legal 100mm for most states, so shop around

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation).
