Ae80 Absorbers Prob...

[LE_Owner]

currently im using OEM LE absorbers + compressed LEVIN AE82GT springs infront.
but the result is not that good.
ride is bumpy and i feel it very soft.
im thinkin of AE92 absorbers,but it must use the knuckle also right.
what is the best combination?bcoz AE80 performance parts are very rare item in chop shop.

help needed here.hope all sifus can give me some advice... :( :(

FYI, almost all stock Macpherson struts from Japan (for corollas) are assembled with compressed springs.

i used to think that 1.6 GT AE82s already use the same absorbers as AE92 and above (19" bottom strut bolt & nut). is it not the case?

AE80 OEM shocks are too soft for any kind of uprated or performance aftermarket/lowered springs. even if u could match the assembly correctly, it just wont feel nice on the road.

Here is a brief overview of the comparisons (that i know of-i dont know all that much) between the suspension struts that i have come across before. sorry the diagram a bit confusing and cluttered.

Im afraid there are no suitable combinations to try if u choose to stay with the small 17" AE80 knuckles. It would be best to change the knuckles from AE9x or AE1xx. they dont cost that much. the benefit gained from being able to find abundant used absorbers for AE1xx models is worth it IMO. the decision is up to u. as u have said, AE8x parts are getting rare, so if there is something better that will fit, why not go for it?
