Suspension to fit XT RWD corona? Pics added

Postby XSVWGN » Tue Feb 19, 2013 9:30 pm

What suspension will fit this XT corona? I'm looking at picking this up but it has choppier up from. Before you all ask I will be picking it up as a rolling body. Not with the RB20DET that can be seen in the engine bay here.

So what suspension will work? Cressida etc? Potentially will look for coil overs or some standard struts for now

Why on earth would you need coilovers? It's a 30 year old Corona wagon. What do you plan on doing with it?

Setup on my TT132 Corona wagon was Lovells Superlow front springs, Tokico Illumina Adjustable front shocks (used SW20 MR2 Rear) in standard front casings.

Rear is leaf sprung, so had the leaves reset 3"

Just planning on having some fun with it and potentially a 1jz conversion. What height did your wagon sit at? I don't want it to sit stupidly low but these wagons do look nice when they are quite low.

Oh that's a good height! Cool well if I get the wagon I will look at getting some super low springs then. Thanks for that :)

Custom coilovers from Bazda, a very cost effective option.
