AE82 FX-GT Shocks and Springs on a AE82 Sedan

[ebgamer]

Hi all,

I got a AE82 Corolla Sedan a few weeks ago and want to lower it. Its pretty hard to find any sedans with second had shocks and springs but ive managed to find multiple FX-GT's with the parts i need.

My question is.. will the FXGT shocks (whole tower) fit onto a AE82 sedan? The fxgt came factory with front and rear disk brakes and my AE82 sedan has front disks and drums on the rear.

Any help would be appreciated, apart from ripping the rear ones out and test fitting not sure if they will suit. Hopefully someone else out there has tried to do this

Cheers,

- Cub3y

Dont waste your time with 25+ year old second hand shocks!

do you know where i can get some shocks reasonably cheap? My car is completely standard atm, needs to be lower, the body roll is killer.

The shocks and springs i was looking at were monroe gas shocks and jamex lowering springs from a fxgt here in palmy

Have an AE101 GT rear sway bar, if it interests you?
Makes a massive difference to the amount of body roll, limits it right down.

Yeah sounds good, do you know if it will bolt strait up to my AE82 sedan? and how much?

Has anyone else ever had to put fx-gt suspension on a sedan?

There will be a knowledgeable Toyspeeder that can help with that question.

Unsure about the fitment myself, sorry.

For price; it owes me around $75, happy with reasonable offers.

Bump. Any knowledgeable toyspeeders out there that can help me?

I will be swapping in fxgt suspension to a liftback - would think the sedan is the same, check toyodiy for part numbers.

Maybe that will make it clearer.....



Pretty sure the shocks are the same. I just can't recall 100%

oh and that, but new suspension for ae82 hatch should fit sedan
