T-sport Lowering/springs

[Kishan]

I am a new member and and proud member too! I have had a Toyota Corolla T-Spirit for about 5-6 years and now I am getting rid of it and have bought a T-Sport (2002) in Black. I have plans for this new car. Firstly I just want to lower it, and wanted some advice on what springs people recommend I get to lower it. I will lower it first, and then make other changes slowly. Want to to do this properly and therefore will take time. I just can't wait to get my hands on it. Should have it within 2 weeks. So, what springs to people recommend to lower the car, and also how many millimeters would suffice and be allowed before problems kick in such as interference with sensors on the rear wheels.

Welcome to the Club

There are a lot us on here with the TTE Lowering Springs which give a 30mm approx drop, If your feeling wealthy the coil over option is next but a lot more expensive (Parts Wise). Some members have reported lower cars having driveshaft problems.

This topic has been covered many times so have a search and you will find loads of old posts.

I have a Facelift corolla and use Eibach springs. 15mm drop for me but a 30mm drop for you.

Sits and hasn't lost all it's comfort even on 18's. TTE and Eibach are probably the way forward if you cant afford coilovers.

Thank you for your comments. I was looking at TTE and Eibach springs. Eibach seems to be the best option apart from coil overs. Thanks

Thank you for your comments. I will have a search around. So TTE and Eibach springs seem to be the two best options. Will settle for Eibachs I think. Thanks

If you can't find Eibach anyway, try Fensport.

I got mine from ESPDesign way back when, so they probably still sell them.
