Ae92 / 93 Shocks Compatible With Ae96?

[MasqUAP]

Hey all,

 

New to this forum and to Corollas, but according to wikipedia I have an AE96 Corolla RV that's a little bit floaty. I think this is due to some old shocks (probably still factory) so can anyone tell me if the AE96 parts are interchangable with AE92s (in general, obviously other than the motor being 1.8L and the trans being 4 speed)? Thinking some new shocks / springs and maybe pads and disks will be the go other than a full service.

 

Also can anyone suggest some cheap shocks / springs and where to get them (I'm in Adelaide)?

 

Regards

Just as an FYI I checked the plate on my car and it says AE93R. So is this an AE93 and wikipedia has it wrong (again)?

The AE9x series numbering is all over the place, they started with the AE92 and AE90 and then went upwards from there - SXs are either AE92 or AE93, the later RVs and Ultimas etc went as high as AE96. In reality, the only one to watch out for is the AE95 (4WD wagon with significant differences), apart from that just about everything swaps over (except for body panels, obviously).
