Alright so I have absolutely zero idea where to look for parts...

I need a point in the right direction for a few little things such as wheels and tires, also a set of coilovers.

Its for a 09 Corolla S model... I need to spice it up a little bit since I drive it every day and its becoming boring (Not that coilovers or wheels would make it that much less boring but would make it look better)


Is the member of the white corolla from Illmotion on beyond here? Or the members of Illmotion that know him know what hes running for suspension? I loved his old wheels he had (I think they were rotas?)

Let me know where you guys think is the best place to get these parts!

Thanks!

First off, I would suggest joining up a Corolla specific forum and reading up what members are doing in terms of modifying their suspension and with what brand items. Google is your friend.

In the first picture of the Blue Corolla, the rims are the Rota Grids. I'm not too sure who carries Rota in Calgary but try hitting up Bob @ Urban Expressions. For coilovers, its dropped with BC Racing Coils. Try hitting up Tunerworks for that. I'd prolli see if any of the Corolla forums have a Group Buy on Coils and buy through that to cut out the middle man since a good chance nobody local with carry suspension items for a Corolla S

There is also another company called Varrstoen that makes pretty good replicas of the Volk TE-37 which is what the Rota Grid copies from and same with Varrstoen. As for the rim supplier in Calgary, I know and have dealt with one but it wasn't a great experience but Autodream brought my rims in.

Had Euro Racer point me in a good direction :thumbsup: thanks bud!


Ordered a set of Megan Coils for the car.

Once I toss the coils on the car ill go and speak with the boys at Urban X to help me out with a wheel setup for the car.
