Suspension | TRD Street Performance
The original suspension in the Corolla GT-S was sporty and had a relatively nice feel to it, however 20 years of use carries a toll. As the car would now have an extra 55hp, I thought it prudent to at least upgrade the suspension a bit over factory-spec. While I do enjoy stiffer suspension and better handling, many people who own/modify the AE86 go to the opposite end of the spectrum compared to the relatively comfortable stock setup. I don't want to feel every bump in my spine, nor do I want to hear squeaks over every dip in the road. TRD Japan non-race suspension parts were chosen for the use on the car.
