    thanks, next time lose the attitude. I purely said it because everyone would have told me "ohh its a daily why dont you just get falcon springs, that will be too stiff for the street"

    Hey hey hey

    you started with the attitude of dont tell me rah rah rah i know best.

    You've been shown two options of exactly what you want and a couple other options. Now have a look into what you need and come back if you have anymore technical questions where you'll be willing to accept constructive feedback.

    Coilovers in the rear are far from the best option...I suggest further research into the topic rather than assuming what works in a Nissan will work in a corolla...

    Firstly you mention you know coilovers are stiffer, well they're not, whether it's a coilover or not doesn't change the spring or damping rates. Secondly there isn't enough clearance to fit a proper size damper in there with then a spring over, so manufacturers use a much narrower damper to fit it all sacrificing control. Thirdly, stiffer doesn't always mean faster, if the setup is too stiff you'll have a much earlier loss of traction. If i could supply a rear coilover that bolts in and still keep the performance there i would.

    ^^^ says the bloke who works in a high performance suspension related business...take his information/opinion seriously...his helping with good information rather than cashing in on's quick buck (not saying anyone here is, but generally it's the case with people offering substandard products)

    I bought them and on sold them to another bloke... Build quality is quite good... Made for mcnsport by AVO with nearly identical shock specs to TRD blues. Very much the same style as the GAZ setups that are also floating around. in all honesty I would most likely still have them if I hadn't Ben convinced by the shockworks guys...of which I'm still yet to purchase lol
