2001 Toyota Corolla with K Sports

[RGAleagueplayers]

specs on the wheels???

[chrisman287]

I'm gonna have mine set to full stiff on my Maxima.

@09dabest Those look like the Kontrol Pro's. I have the same ones but in black and they're super legit.

[09dabest]

What type of k sport suspension you have? I know they have like 10 different ones. Cuz I want this one

[spam420rice]

just bought a GSR with these, I hear bad things, how do you ajust them?

[TRAPxSTARx]

Dude were do you buy the k sports? Are they anygood?

[jcrwzr]

@TRAPxSTARx i bought them from ultrarev.com. i liked them.. but that's just my preference. good luck!

[treesapa]

i liked it when he humped the car :)

[KINGheadshotJOE]

where they always that stiff?? like how do they ride over bumps??

[jcrwzr]

@KINGheadshotJOE yeah, really stiff springs. you don't want to go fast over any kind of bump, crack, or rough road.

[rbb20vtec]

hey how dd u get it that stiff.. i got it on my ek.. how much did u pre load the suspention?

[jcrwzr]

@rbb20vtec

I didn't preload anything. I turned the spinny things untill they stopped.

[rbb20vtec]

@jcrwzr ... oooo ok.. bc i want my civic that stiff.. i pre loaded the spring really tight and i put it all the way stiff and it not as stiff as yours

[ronnieron81]

I dont know about civics, but I made the mistake of installing ksports into a ff car and dropped a car so low that I ended up cutting into my CV boots. :-( I know civics love to run 16 and 17 inch wheels, so watch that drop! I for one hate changing cv boots...

[jcrwzr]

@ronnieron81

I drove a Corolla btw. But yes, I'm glad you pointed this out. I slammed my corolla as low as it can go without any fender rub, and the bottom of the suspension tore up my cv boots.

[ronnieron81]

@Rbb20vtec, I don't see it being a problem installing all four coilovers and allowing the front to sit higher than the rear. From what I've learned, that setup will allow you to turn at ease and have accelerated braking capabilities. If its vice versa, you will be able to corner at high speeds but you lose the accelerated braking properties. I wouldn't set up my suspension too hard for the street; it will just bounce you around leaving your tires in midair. Its your call. Get an alignment too!

[Brendon00000]

I love the j sports and d2 coilovers aswell they are twins but i hear alot of stories of k sports blowing up

[jcrwzr]

@Brendon00000

I never blew a ksport. knock on wood

[ronnieron81]

HAHA@ BLAZEVERYDAY6996...IT DOES LOOK LIKE HE'S HUMPIN' THE THOUGH, HUH?

[ronnieron81]

ONCE UPON A TIME I HAD KSPORT ON MY CAMRY. IVE INSTALLED A FEW COILOVERS IN MY TIME ON DIFFERENT CARS (RPS13, FC3S, SCION TC). KSPORT'S SUSPENSION WAS TOO STIFF; EVEN ON A SOFT SETTING. THIS CAN BE UNSAFE FOR DAILY DRIVER AND NOT QUITE RIGHT FOR GRIP USE. FOR THE $900 PRICE TAG, I GUESS IT WAS WORTH IT. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR I SUPPOSE....

[rbb20vtec]

@ronnieron81  hey i just got k sport on my 97 civic and i pre loaded the spring like maybe 10 times and i have it on stiff and it not at stiff ass this car in the video.. and i droped it all the way and the frong it little above the tire.. am i doing anything rong?

[bryan12887]

where did u get the kit and how much$

[skylingking95]

how much was that setup

[jcrwzr]

@skylingking95 i got the kit from a corolla forum (which i don't think exists anymore) someone was doing a group buy, and if at least 20 people ordered we could get the set for $650 out the door.

[chinkylikeme]

hey what is the size and offset of your rims?

[jcrwzr]

@chinkylikeme

those were the knock off rota slips. 16x7 +40 got them off ebay.

[philialle4supra]

Where did you buy the kit? Ebay?

[blazeveryday6996]

keep humping that car azian ... is this a joke lol ?? but i like the suspention

[jcrwzr]

@blazeveryday6996

lol. it does look like i'm humping the car, but i was pressing down on the car to show off the suspension's stiffness. check out my other video of me shaking the car of another corolla with stock springs.

[sneakerfiend219]

why is it that k sports are so damn stiff ? i dont like all that stiffness

[stormyarsenal]

so when u had ur weight on the car trying to push it down was that on the hard setting or soft ???

[jcrwzr]

@stormyarsenal

hard setting

[xstr33tr4cerx]

dud i know this was a long time ago but that stiff man a 30 plus mph turn and you spin out im sure

[91VR4KID]

stiff ya k sport stiff stiff

[Pitchone]

mach beim drücken keine delle isn blech^^

[braziliangizmo]

" DDAAAMMM ... ! , Thank God your OK .... sorry about your loss .... know how it feels , been rear-ended by an old v8 van at a light while drizzling in the cold .... not fun ... catapulted into an old dodge pickup truck and worst of all , the cop said it was my fault , experienced tax dollars at hard work I guess ... lucky for me a weather video camera told a different story ... fortunately car is still 100% , and thanks to this video have new ideas , thank you and good luck out there , CIAO "

[cyclist14]

damn stiff as fuck, I'm getting adjustable coilovers for my Mazda6s pretty soon

[benji3605]

@jcrwzr that's good cuz I'm planning on getting ksport coilovers to I love stiff ride

[blindsnyper]

what are (were) the spring rates?

[jcrwzr]

@blindsnyper i can't remember. but check the ksportusa website. at the time of that video i had whatever came in the box.

not too long after that video, i installed a 22mm rear whiteline anti sway bar. made the ride even more sensitive to bumps cracks, and whatever other nonsense was on the road.

[swx1042]

Damn dude. This setup must have been awesome. I'm sorry about your car being rear ended. How did it feel driving around that stiff?

[jcrwzr]

@swx1042 it was really stiff. i didn't mind it except when i had a headache.

[thecarexpert18]

do u have a new car?

[jcrwzr]

@thecarexpert18 honda civic ex

[benji3605]

How's the ksport doing is it leaking or anything is making any clunking noise during the winter I'm from NYC a lot of potholes

[jcrwzr]

@benji3605 my ksports never leaked. steering noise is common with most coil overs or lowering setups.

[jcrwzr]

16x7 wheels. tires were 205/40

[bob1sded]

is k sport good quality stuff?

[jcrwzr]

i loved my ksports. had them for over two years.

[DaniMiniYo]

joder una puta tabla!! pero y blando cmo keda??

[kassus1978]

vivan los palos de escoba ! cuantos empastes rotos jajaj

[MrAirshot]

if you drive on a ant you will fell it ?

[jcrwzr]

lol yeah!!!!!! it was really bumpy. bit it looked good on the street

[winningcirclemedia]

whooaa, that suspension has got to leave u wit a soar rear,lol. but i bet it handles well. thats one of my favorite body styles corrolla and Im suprised more people arent hip to these quick cars...

[xXKurisuSanXx]

I freakin love mine, handles SO well, ive escaped so many accidents with it.

[winningcirclemedia]

they are nimble out the box, i had a 94 model 5speed. very peppy. i didnt have the budget to do any mods becuz i was modding the previa sc. but i think i will do a wagon if i can find one in good shape...

[jcrwzr]

trust me, my corolla isn't quick. i just dropped it for looks. it handled corners really good

[winningcirclemedia]

really?? i cnt remember if u had an auto but mine was pretty quick...but i like your s all the same bcuz not to many people mess with them....its refreshing and its not a Honda!!!

[jcrwzr]

@winningcirclemedia i drive a honda civic ex now. hahah. my corolla was 5 speed

[winningcirclemedia]

: )

[TbrTurbo]

u wrong the position of uppermount man...the camber regulation need to stay one screw position counter-clockwise.

[TbrTurbo]

ah! sorry...i've read now your tag! :D bye

[immortal4942]

wow all this and u it gets totalled

[jcrwzr]

it was a great two years with that car! i still miss that car

[s2000julius]

I have a similar K sport setup on my bmw and it feels great. Cornering is effortless. I find myself accelerating around corners when everyone else seems to be breaking. Awesome suspension, and the height adjustment is significantly noticeably up or down

[jcrwzr]

wow on a bmw? nice!!

[MonkeyDaFist]

lol you didnt reply on this video for liek a year

[jcrwzr]

i rarely check this!

[s2000julius]

Check out the 2000 Corolla G Touring on in my videos. This car is sick. It belongs to my uncle in Jamaica and it is just way too sick to campare.

[EJ8civic]

nice set, im looking at a set of ksports for my st202 94 celica.. how low can these babies go?? i have tanabe springs right now on my celica and it only lowered my car 2inch front and 1.5 rear due to the fact that i dont have stock side skirts nor do i have a jdm front lip my car looks like its not droped at all, so now i wanna slam it!! daily scraper status maybe weekend autocrosser

[kf6796]

my god, it's hard......

[jcrwzr]

that's what she said

[bayRyders]

umm wut other mods do u have on it ??? and how many inches are the rims??? x]

[jcrwzr]

i have a cold air intake. 1.75" exhaust, magnaflow cat, header. short shifter. rims are 16

[balidemaj123]

wow u ever track that thing ???

[jcrwzr]

nah... i was too busy.

[MonkeyDaFist]

im pretty sure uve been asked this 50000 times already but how much did the coilovers cost in total

[jcrwzr]

i bought it on ebay for $640 back in september 2007

[bayRyders]

nice job..i have an 02 corolla S but i kept it stock

[fliprayzin240sx]

HaHA...why dont you learn how to install that coilover correctly before you made yourself look like a fool online. You're camber plates are off like a muffo. Better yet, do you really need a $11000 coilover a damn corolla?!?!

[jcrwzr]

it's been fixed since the first comment about the incorrect install was posted over a year ago.

[chaldonkle]

yeah i was wondering what he did wrong also??

[tornmien]

Whats the comments about you putting it on wrong? tell me please i dont know much about the coilovers and wanting some soon.

[tanhauserr]

my guess is that the camber plates werent aligned where the should have been. 0:22 is a good example. they shouldnt be angled like that.

[jcrwzr]

it's been fixed since the first comment about the incorrect install was posted over a year ago.

[jcrwzr]

i installed the camber plates wrong. they're supposed to be turned so that they're horizontal. but it's been fixed since the first comment about the incorrect install was posted over a year ago.

[jcrwzr]

i fixed it, i fixed it... don't get your panties in a knot...

[dummyjum]

damn there stiff like a motherfucker

[Hellnezuela]

i have one like this, 2001, what you recomend to me 4 the front?

[jcrwzr]

let me just warn you that ksports are stiff as heck. the ride is uncomfortable period.

i personally like the suspension to be stiff. everyone will have their own opinion.

[GUMISxACCENT]

wrong top mount......

[jcrwzr]

it's been fixed, since it was taken in for an alignment

[jcrwzr]

it's been fixed since the first comment about the incorrect install was posted over a year ago.

[SovietVadim]

Hey, I have a 98 Corolla VE. The rear part of my frame always rubs against my tires when I go over a small bump. Would getting this KSport kit help prevent this? I have this problem with 14" snow tires and 17" rims with racing tires.

[johno425]

Your not pushing hard enough! Just kiddin mate, Top Stuff! Looking at getting a set of coilovers for my corolla mid year if funds allow me too :)

[senser1080]

y u do dis?

[imtrill07]

Well i hadnt turned mines to max ever since ive had them. i recently sent the fronts back to ksport to get them adjusted from the very bottom. there kinda late getting back, getting inpatient.

[imtrill07]

and u can stand them all the way hard like that?

[smp26]

lol having them that hard will fuk ur shocks

[imtrill07]

i keep mines on F2.5 turns and R3 turns outa 6. He probly lives around smooth roads.

[jcrwzr]

shocks are still good. i've done over 100,000 miles since you posted. and even if the shocks got messed up, i can afford another set right now.

[jcrwzr]

they've been turned to soft for the past 3 months. and for almost a year i've been using whiteline anti sway bars. the ride is still stiff and rocky... there are a few bumps and rough roads that annoy me, but i still love it..

[jcrwzr]

yep

[UTEEngineer]

i got the exact same suspension on my camry =D

yay for ksports!

[ev0chewy]

Where those made for the 2001 corlla, sorry if dumb question, but I couldn't find ones for the 2001-2002 corollas

[XxnoitcelferxX]

Nice >:]

[jakaul]

She's a beut.

I got a 2001 LE, needs ALOT of work. Dont know where to begin. Checked the oil, lol, and found burnt oil in the dipstick. not a good sign.

[jcrwzr]

yup, camber plates fixed... but didn't notice a difference.

[blkcam42002]

hows the over all ride on coilovers

[mariocal]

i´m thinking on outting them on my bmw witch model is it kontrol pro?

[ADCVirgo]

it would look awsome if you lifted the back of the ae110 and leaved the front low..thats the way I have my 98

How u do that?

[cbenz]

wow...can you still push down set on softest?

[Vi11e]

Hehehehe nice!

[honkanesse]

you put them on wrong!

[xclusivevip]

yup yer right. camber plates are not aligned correctly, and the perch seat lock nut needs to butt up.

btw, the settings harsh.

[jcrwzr]

everything has been fixed since the first comment about the incorrect install was posted over a year ago.

[SnowAlpineBunny]

I also have a 2001 8th generation Corolla, but it really sucks and I hate it

[sxlostv1]

i had a 2001 corolla S. i freaking loved it! took the thing on road circuits too! it's a great learning car

[Brendonbosy]

Wow that suspension is TIGHT. It must feel horrible to drive (every little bump on the road going to the seat of your pants). I don't think I would go that low (my 98' Corolla has a 1.2" drop). This looks about 2.5" or more.

[boost4g63]

how do you adjust the height on these?

[Corollaboi]

Hey man nice rims. What brand are they?
