Whiteline Suspension Info

[Woody]

Hey Guys,

Sorry if this has already been posted but I searched & couldn't find anything.

Here's an interesting read about Whiteline suspension setups for S'tivos.

Seems like Zee had quite an ordeal...

not really, he just likes to do things right 1st time :)

Hehe.. that was a while ago. Like Dylan said, that forum was a "techinical" forum where people discuss technical info on suspension components and setups. So i thought it was ok to suss out more info on Whiteline products. I was always going to go Whiteline as i have confidence in their products which were used on 2 of my previous rides. I just need better shocks now for improved handling but i think my stock ones are still holding up alright for the time being ;)

Did you end up getting the shorter bump stops? I don't think I have any problems with my stock shocks on Eibachs, but that Whiteline dude seemed quite eager to sell all the gear together...

I think the shorter bump stops were for the ZZE122 shocks, i got a refund for them. Whiteline comes up with full suspension kits and don't usually recommend people buy bits and pieces. As a full kit they would work very well on the street and track.

Does the car ride much harder with the whiteline bits? I want better handling/lower but am concerned about ride quality.

I've got Whiteline Control Springs on my car with stock shocks, and ride quality has not changed... having said that, I always thought the ride quality was a bit on the harsh side anyway.....

how far do the whiteline springs lower the car?

With control springs, the front is approximately 33cm and the back is approximately 34-35cm from centre of the wheel to the fender... it's not an obvious drop, but with a sportivo bodykit, it's certainly low enough to have to worry about gutters...

Is there a lower whiteline spring, or are control springs the lowest

I think you mean 33mm

I think he said from the centre of the wheel to fender is 33cm

OK cool... got it worked out now, I was reading it as a 33cm drop

[negatron]

HMmm thats a nice set of suspension upgrades.

Hey if coilovers are integrated dampers and springs than WTH are these?

i know it says it for celicas,but I've seen them for corollas too.

I'm pretty sure these will kill ur stock dampers faster but I'll leave that to the more learned ones to fill that info.

and also, will putting Stivo springs on my ascent shocks kill them quicker too?

Whiteline also has "Flat Out" Springs that lower 50mm i think that's what they called and only meant for show cars, not intended for street use.

[Gumball]

When I get some cash I will get some of these spring and shocks. 33mm is enough for me and better handling without stuffing up the compfort levels would rock.

Might get a sway bar too.

Any ideas how much cash I would be up for? Rough idea?

Whiteline have "Control" springs and "Flat out" springs, which I think drop your car by something like 45mm... not sure if they make flat out springs for our Corollas though....
