    Type Z body kit

    You're better off just getting lowering springs if you only plan to drop 2 to 2.5 inches. Your ride quality with coilovers will be much harsher with such a small drop compared to lowering springs. Dropping that much you will scrape only on steep driveways/dips/speed bumps. I'm dropped 4-5 inches...

    Nice! I helped a buddy install his recently, he even bought parts to do an LE front end conversion.

    Recommend a lowering spring

    I had 9th Gen Corolla Eibach springs on mine. I believe they dropped 2 inches all around. This was before any springs were released for the 11th Gen. I used them for ~20k miles and still have them on my stock shocks in case I ever uninstall my coilovers.

    white or gold? drop or not? bags or springs?

    You run the risk of the tire debeading. I suggest checking your tire pressure every week to help prevent it from debeading. How wide are these wheels? I suggest keeping your tire pressure around 40-45 PSI. I ran 45 PSI on a 205/40R18 on an 18X9.5 wheel and never had any problems. It seems the...

    FRS lip/splitter

    A lot of people have used this lip on their S. The only thing is the lip doesn't reach to the ends of the bumper, it seems it's ~2 inches short on each end. Also, the S bumper doesn't have the fangs of the FRS bumper so there will be gaps visible at that section of the lip. People have used the...

    Want to put a LED STRIP in my font headlights

    On my Corolla I put DRLs into the lower grill, I wouldn't mind adding something to the headlights but I'm no expert at opening them, especially since ours are pricy I wouldn't want to even try. $13 on ebay. The LED under the headlights isn't a bad option, but to me it feels cheap which is funny...

    2017 Corolla Pricing and Models

    I was hoping they would've brought the look of the Altis over as the facelift for the States. I would've traded mine in for it in a heartbeat or if I had the money, I'd buy the parts to do a conversion o_O

    Want to put a LED STRIP in my font headlights

    There's a very high chance that it is permasealed and the only way to open it is to use a dremel to cut in between the housing and lens. You can try to heat it up in an oven (there are youtube guides to do this) and pry it apart to see if it's permasealed or not.

    How much can our cvts handle??

    So far I've heard of 2 Corollas being supercharged and 1 being turboed. All 3 have CVTs and are running about 8 lbs of boost. Here's a video of the turboed one idling, haven't seen any vids of it on the road though. I did read somewhere on this shop's page that it has been reliable so far but I...

    Does anyone knows for sure if an altis spoiler will fit

    Yes, all years of this current generation Corolla and Corolla Altis spoilers will fit no problem. As far as other brands of spoilers.. the only non Corolla spoilers I know that will work are the Mugen RR spoiler and Universal TRD spoiler, with the Mugen being the cheaper option.

    Does anyone knows for sure if an altis spoiler will fit

    All Altis spoilers will fit our trunks. The shape on the top of the trunk lid is exactly the same.

    2017 Corolla LE Revealed

    Looks like the dash is the same one in the Scion iM. I do like the look of the LE front as well. The SE front end is too much.

    Tire pressure and Windshield washer fluid

    Every time my tire pressure light comes on it's around 23 PSI, but this is on aftermarket wheels. Not sure if it would be any different on stock wheels.

    looking to buy new rims

    Shouldn't be a problem. I ran 18x8.5 +35 on coilovers and didn't need to roll fenders.
