I made some DIY coilovers for Lolla my 1983 Corolla ae71. There's some ghetto stuff that will be taken care of in the near future; this was more of a proof of concept, beta build.

tip** you have to reinforce the chassis rear suspension mound in order to avoid a huge damage. the car is originally made to take the load at spring housing (separate sping and leg) . now you have the spring and the leg combined so you have changed the weight distribution to the leg's housing. the chassis there is really weak and needs extra reinforcement in order to deal with the whole rear ends load. otherwise someday the sunspension would penetrate the chassis. i did it before and none stopped me and i conclude with a huge chassis damage. btw my coilovers were XYZ and car is ke70-coupe, same chassis with AE.

@leveledupgarage53033 жыл бұрын
They seem to be holding up well. However I did use a spring rate that was meant for a heavier car so it's a bit too stiff for my liking. If this was a full on race car it'd be great. I may try some softer springs soon. I don't have the part number, but you can just measure whatever shock you are using and just Google "locking pipe collars" and there's plenty of stuff. Can probably go on amazon as well.

@endeavour21274 жыл бұрын
Interesting conversion! How do you think the body of the shock will hold up under the weight of the whole rear end? Also, do you think the bolt where the shock bolts to the axle will hold out? I've fitted my ae86 with a ksport rear coilover conversion and am not comfortable with the strength of that single bolt taking the weight of the whole rear end so I made a bracket which I know will do the job.

I'll be honest. I'm not loving it. The shock towers worry me. I've hit a few bumps that made me stop and inspect. It was a fun easy project but I'm going to be switching over to the battle garage setup. I'll keep these shocks for now and just use the adjustable spring perch style.

I don't think so. You got a completely different suspension setup that requires some different stuff. You got leaf springs.

I've owned a 81 wagon (leaf springs) and 80 liftback Corona's. This will 100% work on the rear I have swapped axles between 79-84 celicas 79-82 corona's and 80-87 corollas. Celicas and Coronas use the same 6.7 rear and same width as the gts corolla. All use same exact 4 link set up with spring perches etc. I'm using my 1980 corona autozone warranty kyb suspension on my te72 corolla. Fits all the same unless you have a station wagon.
