    LF: coilover suspension (2003+corolla) kit that lowers at least 3"

    Hi everyone, these Corollas are so jacked up~ I've seen some with the Tein 2.5" lowering springs.....still doesn't look low enough for me:p I'm pretty new to Toyota's, so I'd like some help/advice on lowering a 2004 Corolla xrs about 3". Mechanically would there be any problems? Any negatives in going that low? Does anyone even manufacture a coilover kit to lower at least 3"?

    Too low means:
    -the suspension doesn't work properly
    -rubbing
    -bottom out too easy
    -not drivable
    -"tell that to my front lip"
    -wheels don't even touch the ground at all. j/k
    -...etc
    (show car or ricer not included in this segment)

    Do you think we should ben those who just bad mouth everything and sh!t on other's thread?

    the suspension doesn't work properly - how so?
    rubbing - get a fender roller
    bottom out too easy - get new upper mounts
    not drivable - bullshit
    "tell that to my front lip" - shouldn't have tried my driveway

    new upper mounts wouldnt keep you from bottoming out, if you bottom out your spring rates are too high for your struts.. ie ground control w/ eibach &quot;race&quot; springs at 300lbs/in on crappy kyb gr2 or tokicos blues.<br />
    The purpose of the pillowball upper mount is to replace the OEM rubber top hat so that the suspension is more solid and reduce camber shifts during cornering, think of it as a urethane bushing. In addition to that they are usually camber adjustable on macpherson strut suspension.<br />

    Your driveway looked fine from where I was sitting.
