Corolla Tte Spring Advice

January 25, 2005

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has fitted the TTE springs for the corolla E11? I want to go get a set but there is a choice of 30mm, 35mm & 40mm. The guys at TTE reccommend me to get the 40mm but not too sure how harsh the ride would be. Any ideas guys? much appreciated! <_<

I got Eibach -30mm on my rig (same as TTE), slightly more harsh on sharp pumps. No difference on regular ride, but much better when cornering higher speeds; bodyroll is minimall compared to stock :)

Yeah i heard Eibach custom made the springs for TTE spec. I was planning to run lightweight 15x7 wheels to keep the handling but not lose grip. but i didnt know how much to lower by, my mate's got a mazda 323f and recently lowered the car by 30mm and it looks fine, but TTE reccommended me to 40mm (pro-kit). :huh:

There might be some differences in real drop; my one dropped like -20 front and -40 rear with this Eibach Pro-kit. Side line is very near balance now, cant complain :thumbsup:

edit: I have just ordered OZ wheels (15x7, ET37) to my rig, weights only 4,9kg piece, if You are looking for real lightweight wheels...

They are surely rubbing on rear fenders with 205/55, but i have to do some cutting or bending work.

Geeesss 4kg? They are lighter than my ones. May have to look into those. I also understand that the rear will drop more than the front as that is the setup of the car. But that would also balance out when high speed braking into the corner the front will compress and the rear should lift giving you a balance going round the corner.
