I would prefer not to skimp on the suspension... there is quite possibly a very good reason why they are £60!

However I have been wrong before. :lol: europerformance are quite good I think, although they are fairly kack at updating the website!

So what make are the best to go for? I don't mind spending the money but had to use some fund else where other than my car just seems to be taking for ever to get round to lowing it so with the spare cash I've got at the moment wanted to get some or should I hold out and get some top end ones?

If so what's the difference between mid and top end springs?

Thanks lads but im more than happy to cut them if I wanted to gash it up but not what I'm after thanks any way

You'll spend more on labour than the springs anyway I should think, unless you have the tools/space to DIY.

Got a couple of lock ups I can use and got a decent tool kit so it will just be springs I need to buy

I'm here.......

Cant tell you chaps to be honest, the TTE springs have dropped off the Toyota system now and don't seem to be stocked anymore. Not a suprise as TTE no longer lives

Kingo :thumbsup:

Found them on eBay!

Even better I'm in eastbourne at the weekend! And that where they are.

But the only problem is does any one know if they will fit a tsport? I've spoken to Toyota and no tte springs are listed in their catalog for a t sport but people have them fitted don't they?

Any one know the part number of the tte springs that fit the tsport? Thanks

Had a word with fensport and they seem to recon they will fit but only lower it 20mm even though it's listed as 30mm drop slightly confused with that but hey.

Thinking about it is the standard corolla compared to the t sport higher? That may be the reason for the 20mm drop!

Any one got a picture of a t sport on tte springs?

Its probably for all engines bar the VVTL-i and the 2.0 D4D. The spring rates will be difference because of the heavier engines, hence less lowering if its designed for the 1.4s etc.
