Suspension on this car feels great... so far. On the street I have not seen much better (and now and then when I get bored chase down other modified imports.... generally easily hang with them through the corners). No, I am not that cocky... get me to a straight line race and the car will lose.
On an auto-x course (faster course) the car feels good... except currently the car understeers way too much. To fix this I plan on swapping the small stock rear sway bar for an adjustable Whiteline bar.
Springs: Suspension Techniques 1.5" drop
Struts: KYB GR2's.. though I think they are too tall for the springs I have.
Front Sway bar: Well, the 4 door and SR5 model AE92 corollas (with the exception of the Geo Prizm GSI) did not come with the front sway bar or necessary parts for install. For this I turned to Devin at www.alloutracing.netfirms.com and he hooked me up with a JDM AE92 GTZ swaybar (24mm), control arms, swaybar endlinks, brackets and bushings (all JDM) for a great price. Go to him if you need JDM parts for your AE92.
Strut Mounts: Tein Upper Pillow Ball.... these are great parts. I have the full set (all 4). The front are Camber adjustable (the ones shown in the picture) and the rear are fixed. They are solid metal pieces and are much stiffer and less camber changing (during corners) than the OEM rubber mounts.
Strut Bar (front): CK Sports Strut bar
Tires: Yokohama AVS ES100's. These are great sticky tires for on and off the track. If you push them hard with negative camber through an auto-x course expect to go through them VERY quickly.
Future Plans: GT-S rear disc brake conversion, Whiteline Rear Sway bar
