Hi all

Recently purchased a 2008 Corolla Hatch and looking to lower it. I want the car to sit pretty low....with the tyre sitting flush with the guard and from looking at other members cars to achieve this look I would have to drop the car considerably. And unless Im mistaken, no aftermarket springs will go low enough. So I'm looking to get coilovers or koni's or something along those lines but cant seem to find anything. I have read the threads which mention all the parts available but when I check the manufacturers website there is nothing for the ZRE Corolla. Has anyone here fitted coilovers/aftermarket suspension to their ZRE corolla? If so what do you have and where did you get it??

the problem is that the ZRE chassis is different to the Euro Altis. Have found this out through pricing and availability of underbody braces from Ultra Racing. I think atm Kings have springs to suit Aus Spec ZRE but nobody can tell me whether or not Eibach for the Atis will fit or not and it is a lot of money to spend and find they don't.....

I was looking at the Pedders website today at springs/shocks for my aurion and saw an adjustable coil-over system. I am going to ask about it for my car but they might make it for yours. Looks kinda good

I now sell K sport coilovers which are Australian made and have dampener and rebound adj as well as height adjustment. Plus they have all the mounts for brake lines unlike some of the other cheaper brands available. Have got some pics somewhere will post em up. Sell for about $1700 ish from memory and are available for ZZE 122/3 Corolla as i have sold a set and would imagine ZRE's are not far behind in being released....

Q - K Sport are an American company, why would they be manufactured here instead of China or somewhere?

All K-SPORT coilover suspension kits are built in-house at K-SPORT Headquarter in Taiwan.

I've contacted Tein UK about the coilovers for the ZRE142 fitting the ZRE152 and they were unable to confirm fitment. If someone with a ZRE152 was to measure the upper and lower mounts as well as the distance between the two points I would be able to find out possible alternatives.

Hey bro supp... ive got king springs in my ZRE n it dropped 30mm all round.. i can reset my rears but i dont wana coz it mite bottom out..

I was talkin to a bloke at wholesale suspension n he said they could make coilovers for 1650 n a sway bar for 350..

I wouldnt recommend lowering ur car flush wit the guards becoz my mate reset all his stock springs n it sits flush wit the guards n it scrapes over speed humps n it sum times get stuck...

But i must say it looks very HOTT!! By the way his side skirts r scratched... But i love driving it coz u get alot of looks!!

I hope it helps... lol!

Cheers..

+1 nengun for parts shipped from japan at first i was afraid of buying online but after i tried i have gone back again and again

getting coilovers is a good idea but finding some for the ZRE thats freaking hard... ive check nengun as i said b4 most of them only deliver within in japan only... and plus they are GOOD brands as well *sigh* if someone could make GOOD coilovers for a good price ill consider... BUT HELL NO im not going for D2's IMO i think they are crap... all my friends use them said they are good as daily's but track they are crap as and all of them have switched over to more branded products :) so yeah... if your just going for looks i guess springs can do the job no more than 35mm but or else your shocks will be gone sooner than expected.

If you want a 'custom' set, talk to Road and Track out at Ipswich, QLD. They will make them to suit your purposes.

I've had custom coilovers made at Fulcrum Suspension previously. Turned out very well and was priced around $3K for the fabrication, assembly and installation of the suspension along with rear swaybar and front anilift kit.

Post some pics up of your car mate. I'm sure others would be keen to have a look at them as well!!

My bad on the typo. I meant to put they are made for Aus spec cars and produced in Taiwan. Fingers have a mind of their own LOL. If someone wants some for a ZRE152 then If you give me the measurements they require they will make them for you through my supplier.

double post, mods please remove

Newbies sheesh!!

      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.
