Pauly35 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi guys, from sydney australia I have recently purchised a 1977 ke35 Coupe, all original except sound system. I am working on it in my spare time getting it ready for me to drive. Everything on the car is old and i would like to replace as much as i can. This is my first corolla and I'm used to working on american cars so all advise and opinions will help. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly35 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 quick freshen up front end : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly35 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Anyone have any advice about changing brakes (front and back) and front shocks and coils ? any products recommended ? I'm looking to just freshen up the car, I'm not changing the 1.2L 3K engine so i don't need any high performance products. I'm just looking for a smoother, tighter and more comfortable ride? Thanks Edited January 26, 2012 by Pauly35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doityourself Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 For shorter stock shockers, I've heard subaru brumby or n10 pulsar, although the pulsar units are three inches shorter and require a spacer on top of the insert to tighten to the gland nut.

Ohk I'll have a look for that. Thankyou Is there any way you can buy the whole shock and coil over setup new ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
