    350lb is what to ask for. 6kg.

    see the photo you posted? thats how they supply them spring wise, with the spring almost the full length of the coilover. make sure you ask for a shorter spring than they would normally supply, so you have a decent range of adjustment. theyre expecting that the car will compress the spring a fair bit, not the case with a corolla.

    ask how much extra it will be with a helper spring as well. wont be to much extra i dont think and its a very worthy addition when using stiff springs in a light car.

    My current swaybar is from a Celica (can't remember model) but they are a small upgrade from stock. At the moment I've just got some cut down falcon springs with some KYB VL wagon shocks in there.

    Thanks mate, just the sort of info I was after.
    I was worried about running out of adjustment and not being able to get the car as low as I wanted, but if I get some helper springs then do you think that will solve the problem?

    Anything else I should be asking for? Different types of shocks etc.?
    They have said they do have the drawings neccessary to make a set to suit a ae86, or in my case a ke70.

    Can anyone tell me if the rear AE86 top shock mounts are any different to a ke70? Anyone else currently using the Gaz option?

    Currently got 7kg on the front and didn't really want to change. Would 6kg on the rear be a bit too soft?

    atm with my experience using gaz rear coilovers in my rig ( steroidchickens old ones ) its supposeably 6kg and its STIFF, not joking atall its more than enough to slide, gets uncomfy etc.
