AE71, Lowering, Tyre Fitment & Spring Recommendations!

[x744]

Hey guys, i know theres gonna be a smartass that will link me google, so just save that for somewhere else. What im after is i just got a set of MA61's sitting on 205/60's and my ae71 is 100% factory, after fitting these wheels, would i be able to fit the 30mm lowering king springs or AJPS's 40mm lowering springs? and which one would you guys prefer if its about $250 for kings and $400ish for the AJPS? would i need to change the tyres on my ma's?

On an E7 you would get better fitment with 185/60 profile tyres. Never had that profile, so not sure if you would need any guard work after lowering

Always valued AJPS products when owning a Corolla, but thats just me personaly.

Personaly I'd suggest talking to Dave at AJPS about your suspension as he has always been happy to help out someone new to the game

are the 206/60s what was originally on the wheel? could look cool to leave them on and paint writing on the tyres white, be a hot rod kind of look :D Comes down to personal preference and budget, most people on here will recommend Dave as he supports the community, unlike King Springs. May need to lip your guards when running the 205 but i doubt it'd have problems with rubbing. Get photos of how they currently sit on the car.

I have some ma61s that came with 236/60s when I bought them. I think that's what they ran originally. They look weird as hell though.

I have another set of ma61s with 185/60s that I fitted after getting ajps springs and I had to roll the rear lips a little to stop them rubbing.

Yeah run a 185/60 or 185/55

cheers for the kind words chris

and as chris said 205/60 COULD work but would need guards and shit taken into consideration

185/60 with a light roll will be mint

the springs I quoted you on include shipping and are slightly firmer than the king equivalent and are also linear rate compared to progressive....

Cheers

185 60 or 185 55 if going low.

AJPS all the way,

I would recommend getting some second hand coilovers though and just run cut falcon springs in the rear if you are on a budget.

yeah i think ill have to get 185/55's how much do they set you back?

[s13 james]

u can get nangkang 185,55,14 for 100 a peice at tyre power(s)they are pretty decent rears and federal 595 185 55's for front,but the nangkangs would be fine all round for your situation

[x744]

i would much rather find a used set ahah, anything with 70% tread or more is good :)

[s13 james]

just put a little cash away each week mannn,costs money to play cars

[shift_rook]

For the height you're running there's a bigger selection of 185/60s as opposed to 55's. Get some good steerers for the front, like a bridgestone adrenalin which usually retails for about $120 a tyre, then get something more basic for the rear, like a Kenda Komet or something with slightly less grip. The beauty of running 4ac is not really having to worry about power oversteer.

You get a cool sticker if you buy things from AJPS...

Top bloke too

[AJPS]
