| Welcome! Don't forget to add location info. And you are right, not too bad for $200! Any engine bay pics? Pics of the front end damage with the hood open? How handy are you with a welder. If you can sawzall a front end off of a rear ended/t-boned and welt it to yours, why not? The rest of the car looks good. Personal suggestions (as with any forum response); paint the interior one dark color, 4 matching wheels, the front end bits. Maybe a new hatch instead of dealing with the rusted bits. And You can find a used set of springs on Club 4AG. Slammed and stiff are usually not good. Save your suspension, chassis, and spine! Ooh, a cloth dash mat. They are super cool and don't glare onto the windshield. | |

Nice. I would advise against those springs. While they are appealing, they often don't tell you the spring rate. Who knows if they are the same? There are a lot of good articles and threads you should read. Here on 4ACP, Club4AG's technical section (not the forum), and other Corolla sites. | |

| The wheels you are asking about I believe are SSR MKI wheels. You can also buy Centerlines if you like the style. | |
