Hey guys ,

 

I have a 1995 Toyota Levin BZ-G and its time to change the shocks , i tired to search the part numbers of the OEM shocks and did a search through other domestic range of Corollas to find a similar part but i could not find any .

 

Just wanted to know if the AE112 Suspension (Shocks, Springs etc. ) are the same as the AE111 Levin (JDM) ?

( my levin is not the superstrut version )

hi

ae112 will fit however the ae111 shock is shorter so the wheel alignment will out, i tryed this ae101 corolla as i have ae111 full suspension fitted,really pushes a lot of angle on cvs .do you want after market shocks? or original ones fitted, looking at original ones from toyota for ae111 bzg they are not that pricey anyway.

They'll be fine - AE101/102/111/112 is all swappable (they are essentially the same chassis as long as you stay Macpherson strut, I know because I sold my old AE102 OEM shocks to a guy who fitted them to his AE111 to convert it to Mac strut). All the aftermarket coilover suppliers etc list the same part number for all of them.

 

Main difference from factory isn't length, it'll be firmness (besides, the springs set ride height in a car, not shocks/struts).

 

And you should always do a wheel alignment after removing/fitting suspension, regardless of whether you are putting new stuff in or not.
