don't put cut springs in, especially if you will be having kids in the back!

QUOTE (19914afc @ Jul 30 2010, 06:53 AM)  don't put cut springs in, especially if you will be having kids in the back! yeah cut springs are crraaaappp. yes ive been running them for a few years, and yes i know they are crap:P falcon springs are far to stiff for a corolla if you want it to grip. if you do use falcon springs you will need some pretty stiff shocks to control them. for interests sake i have some dodgy cut AU springs in the back of my car, and some KYB shocks out of a commondore wagon. the shocks cannot control the springs and it just bounces on bumps. its not to bad, but compared to the front which with the new 6kg springs and mr2 rear shocks (ae86 front end) handle the bumps beautifully. tomorrow I'm putting in some softer springs to see if i can get the bouncing down, but i will have to get some better shocks at some stage as well. lowering the car 1.5" isnt very much, and i dare say any 2nd hand springs you find will be lower than that. my suggestions is buy a proper set of springs in a decent spring rate (4kg or so) and some decent shocks. you may find that cutting standard ke70 springs may get you closer to the 4kg (or maybe something from a mid 80's corona?), but please get some better shocks as well! (stock ke shocks suck....) --------------------  |
