Need to borrow/buy/steal S13 or AE86 Suspension

Post by Rhoad Racing »

This past weekend, the shocks on the Corolla went out which has left it almost impossible to drift. Well, Amanda has an event this weekend in Atlanta and now both cars are down with suspension woe's. If anyone has some suspension parts for a S13 (shocks and springs) or Corolla (shocks) that she can borrow for the weekend, we would be very grateful.
Time is running short, so let me know asap. Even stock s13 suspension would help at this point.

thanks dude, but I'll blow those just as quickly. Hopefully I come into some money soon and I can upgrade to something decent.
Plus, we may have a sponsor who's going to help out with Amanda S13. Phone call tomorrow will determine if its legit.

What is your suspension set up anyways? I would throw on some replacements if money is an issue. Buy some front ae92 struts or mr2 and some rear camaro or mustang shocks. Most people use
Camaro shocks but rumor is Mustang shocks are closer valved for short stroke suspension.

TRD Springs (6/4) with GR-2's. Since Im on such a low budget, there's a very good chance I'll go with the Camero shocks. However, where can I find out more info about the Mustang option? I haven't heard about that option before.


HD, what brand are those? If you're buyin', Im rockin'.

Yeah, I had those on mine for a while before I took it apart. They were nice, definitely gave a good feel in comparison to the camaro shocks with TRD springs. Also them being adjustable was nice :D.
