    Default Rear Suspension On AE82

    I have 17's on my lil rolla and need some hard shocks to put on the rear to stop the tyres rubing on the stuts...i think. any ideas on some good cheap hard shocks.
    Kind of annoying me that Koni dont make shocks for the corolla
    I heard that new strut braces will stop the rubbing too??
    cheers for any kind of help,

    They are rubbing dude to the camber, its to negative, get some chamber bolts and drop it towards the postive side and it should stop it fowling

    negative = top of wheel is closer to the strut, hence the rubbing...and tyre wears inside faster..

    what u want to do is to get camber positive..

    i had the same problem on my AE93 and i found that getting wheels with a proper off-set and width is a much better fix.. the adjustment on them are quite limited even with these camber bolts.. adjusting them + camber bolts might be a fix, but on hard cornering u'll find it still rubs..

    i checked my wheel alignment at work, and had -1 degree on both sides.
    I do really want to get thinner wheels, they're already 205's and i have spacers on the rear already
    cheers tho i'll look into it..
