TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: New Annex Coilovers or...Old faithful TRD Blues etc..
Interesting.Thing is I used spring isolators AND needle bearings - above and below spring - on both diy coilover setups. (still using them.) They help a little, but with high spring rates and camber plates its a marginal improvement with compliance. Im sceptical the shock valving could make the ride compliant with such high rates, […]

This thread has been active as hell! Good to see! The Annex kit will be more compliant than the FA kit and includes several proprietary features that help in both noise reduction and increase in ride quality WITHOUT a sacrifice in performance. P.S. The red hatch back doing track duty in all the Annex literature, […]

TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: New Annex Coilovers or...Old faithful TRD Blues etc..
totta - thanks for the info.bgrs - the fa and annex kits still tempt me even though i know the caveats. Having the independent adjustments is VERY tempting. 2 questions:1. What are the front/rear shock stroke lengths with each kit?2. Which of the two is more compliant from your experience?Statistics: Posted by Deuce Cam — […]

Hey Jondee, Yes I've heard about how strict NZ road safety police can be. For NZ, would welding on the OEM spindles onto the coilover with an adapter be acceptable in their eyes? Just wondering as I'm sure we will be asked about this in the future!GrantStatistics: Posted by BattleGarage_RS — Tue Jan 15, 2019 […]

BattleGarage_RS wrote:Koni yellows are great too, however the basic shock design is getting a little old as they haven't been updated for our chassis / similar old chassis for decades. They do have good bump compliance, and the adjustments change the shocks as you would expect.Back in 1985 when the AE86 was in production, Koni […]
