Hey guys!

Going to order C-One front strut for my Auris (Corolla ZRE) and was wondering wether it'll fit or not.

The problem is my car is LHD, so if the strut isn't symmetrical, it won't fit as it's bent to fit RHD car.

This is what I mean. This would've fitted to my car, but it doesn't fit on a RHD car (pic from RHD car)...

This will fit to both ones as it's symmetrical:

This is the C-One, but it's hard to tell if it's bent or not...

I've looked through all the pics I could find, no success. So I need some real world experiances!

Hope for your help guys :)

Hi Alex, Here is another pic of it and I think you should be OK with it, clears the brake fluid reservoir and looks symmetrical...

edit:: now that I look again it looks like a slight kink but not as drastic as the red one i had above,I can have a better look tomorrow for you.

It shouldnt be a drama installing the C-One front strut on your car mate. The bar most of us have from c-one is symmetrical and not bent differently in any way like the TRD one you have in the pic, im sure it should fit being an auris.

You must be getting the C-One strut on special order or 2nd hand because C-One has shut down shop?

Alex i don't think it will fit,there is a bend so for you it will be tight,but not impossible.

another angle shows it better..

your safest bet is probably the TOM'S brace or this Greddy brace,don't have a part No, but looking

Thanks for all your replies!

Yeah I think it's not bent, just coming more "forward" on one side... I was looking at TOMs aswell, could get it for AU$ 400 delivered. Little bit of hesitation because of the price though. Thinking about Cusco aswell, it should be symmetrical regarding to the pic below. BUT I'm not 100% sure if the one in the pic is for ZRE as it's not installed. Could be for any car really

I managed to find the C-One parts from Estonia. There is a guy who first said he couldn't get them, but then he contacted me and said he found someone who's able to deliver front strut and sway from C-One...

So, now for some real world experiences regarding TOMs and Cusco, will they really fit? I don't like the looks of Greddy, but painting it would help for sure, so would be grateful for the part number :)

Actually here in Europe we have the same engine cover on facelifted ZREs as in that pic above. It's because facelifts have Valvematic engine instead of VVT-i...

I found out that Charlie (flipsta24) posted some pics of his Cusco bar in ZRE Strut Brace thread.

There is a pic of of it when it's outside the engine bay and it looks 100% symmetrical :blink:

I have got it installed 2 days ago with Cusco.. Lucky, I speak Japanese, so I understand almost most of the instruction

Another member has suggested me to watch the following before install

Also, arttached is the TRD install menu in pdf

I am worried about the TRD one will break because it is a single piece of metal with no joins

The following shows the effeciency of cusco struct brace. the suspension travel increases from 60mm to 66mm

I will go to Wakefield again this month to test the struct brace. The car should show more oversteering in high speed corners (120km/h). If everything is right, I should not even consider installing a rear sway bar to promote oversteering

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
