infact, go to rear sway bar post, look for this dude nicknamed eg5, talk to him, and he'll get you some quote.

Hi guys

I had decided to install Koni shock absorbers (8610-1416 front and 80-2844 rear) with my existing TTE (Eibach Pro kit) springs, which result to 20mm lowering of 1.8TS and 30mm for other H/B Corollas.

However, I realized that Koni sells these absorbers for not lowered cars. Actually, they are acceptable for up to 30mm lowering and forbidden for lowering of 40mm and more.

But 30mm is realy at the limit! I am afraid that it may be like puting 205/16 tyres on a 5.5" wheel (allowed but not making sense).

I would appreciate it to have your opinions.

Did you modify your Konis for using them with the lowering springs?

I have King Super Lows on the stock shocks.

What is a good match for these springs since they are a 50mm drop and most of the examples thrown up in this thread are for 30mm or so drops

Thanks!

I have found only the "B8 Sprint" type of Bilstein explicitly made for lowered vehicles:

And whilst we're all asking questions...

What's the difference between Koni Yellow and Koni Red ?

yellows are stiffer and adjustable. as for the reds, most of them are not adjustable and are only just slightly stiffer than oem.

Bilstein B8 sprints are supposed to be 10% stiffer than standard ones for all Corollas and are good for 40-50mm lowering.

Konis can be adjusted much stiffer than the standard ones but for lowering up to 30mm. And are not covered by guarantee for their use in my country!

I do not know for KYB but probably are the standard ones of Toyota.

Overall, I think it is not worthy to change shocks just for 10% difference, since Toyota provides nice guarantee terms.

Anyone give me some advise on what shock absorbers should I use when I update, I have a 2010 zre152 hatchback. I will be replacing both front and rear shock absorbers, I am not lowering the car but I want to improve the handling.
