Good job! I did something very similar but I used 15mm front and 25mm rear spacer setup after seeing some people rub with the Swift springs and the 20mm/30mm spacers.

The best way I can explain it: my evo was a sharp old kitchen knife. My GR is a surgical scalpel. Power is very similar to a stock evo but with all of the bells and whistles of a brand new car. I do miss the rowdiness of the evo but this car is the refined and more mature older brother. I can’t complain!
@@vrsaceimg just went with 245s over the 235s with the eibach sportline springs and have done rubbing. I’m shaving the quarters in about ten minutes actually lol it looks way too good to not do it. Threw the oem spacers on back for the time being and it’s nowhere near as good. These back wheels look fat and so cambered. Flush. Man it looks good 😊
@@andrewstevens7205 I just threw on my Rays from the Evo X and they are 18x9.5 +12 with 255/35’s it is aggressive but looks so good with the width of this car!
Looks damn good! Did you have to roll the fenders at all? Been looking into this combo for mine but still want to enjoy the twisties without having to remove liners or roll the fenders.
@@vrsaceimg that's great to hear. I wasn't too worried about the front but this is the first car I've had with plastic rear fenders. I really wanted to avoid trimming/shaving the rear fenders if I could lol
Can’t speak for rubbing or scrubbing because I haven’t done anything yet, however, these are the factory wheels for this car. Just google gr Corolla factory wheel specs (18x8.5 +30offset) factory tires (245/40zr18). Might try this setup myself. Maybe I’ll go 25mm rear and 15mm front just to be safe but I’m not sure yet.
It is slightly stiffer on smaller bumps and cracks in the road. Still very compliant like OEM on the bigger bumps. I’ve had no issues with scraping the front bumper either. It really is the perfect height
I think it is worth it. You should do 15mm front and 25mm rear if you don’t plan on lowering it. This set up in the video has some natural camber which makes the fit a little better
Great video! Fitment looks great. However, I'm curious is there a reason you ran 30mm spacers in the rear (taking off factory spacers) but ran 20mm spacers in the front stacking on top of the factory spacer? Couldn't you have just ran 30mm spacer on both the front/rear after taking off factory spacer? Or run 20mm spacers on front/rear by stacking on top of the factory spacer?
The GR corolla only comes with a factory 10mm spacer in the rear. The 30mm rear accounts for 20mm wider overall track width including the stock 10mm. Just not stacking the spacers because that is bad juju
Does the tire not rub when you're turning? I was told it would rub if I got the Eibach Lowering Springs and spacers. I planned on doing exactly what you did.
Just the spacers and not installing lowering springs would not cause you to rub at all. I have my Regamasters that I will put tires on come spring so I plan on this to be the first phase of the car. This is to hold me over the winter to achieve the fitment I want.
Slight rubbing on big bumps but nothing on day to day driving/ turning. I just put on other wheels that have a 35 profile tire and it rubs way less as well.
My goal was to retain as much OEM components as possible. For me this height is very similar to what I would’ve set coilovers at. For that reason I’m very happy with them, can’t beat the price point at $350 even just to try!
Yes you need to do an alignment after you do the spring install. I’ll do an updated review on how everything is once I wash the car 😂 Thank you!! I love the heavy metal. My evo was white on white and I miss that. You will do the ice cap justice!
Any idea if the stud length is longer than OEM? They seem longer in the video but it's hard to tell. OEM studs are super short and I want to make sure I'm going to get enough thread engagement on aftermarket wheels.
I would skip spacers in general if going to aftermarket rims. Just get rims with the proper offset. The spacers here are a good solution to flush out the factory rims. They appear to have short studs that are only going to work with OEM GR wheels and the OEM shanked lug nuts. Bonoss will make any spacer you want though - you can spec width, you can spec centerbore (so there would be no need to run centering rings) you can choose stud length and pitch, you could even change bolt pattern.
@lannym I'm trying to use a set of wheels from a previous car for my summers but they've got an offset difference of about 20mm so I was thinking spacers were the way to go. Unfortunately the OEM lug length has me all sorts of confused, might just need to do some more research on my end for a solution. Anyway, I appreciate the reply!
The studs are slightly longer than the OEM fronts. I would say 3mm barely anything but still enough to mount a wheel. I agree with Lannym on aftermarket wheels and spacers. Pick the right offset in the beginning.
These are the stock wheels and they measure 18x8.5 +30 offset. You don’t need an alignment after just the spacers only if you did the Eibach springs with it like I did. The spacers widen the track to get the look and fitment I want.
Spring install wasn’t too bad. The front top hats have a stack of things so make sure you get the alignment and order of them correct or you will get a popping noise. Other than that, easy as pie!
Super easy. Pop the clips that hold the liner to the fender, tuck the fender liner above the tabs that the clips pop into. Gives you plenty of clearance for a more aggressive spec tire or whatever you want to do!
@@vrsaceimg how the ride quality? I know the stock height is still (Stiff) I live in NJ and sometimes the roads can be brutal with potholes and sewer drains (dips/raise)
Ride quality is very similar to OEM. So far no complaints or noticeable difference besides being lower. I’m always dodging potholes here in NV but the roads are typically pretty good here 😅
@@vrsaceimg on my rsx I had issue with parking decks if the ramp had speed bumpers. I'm always daily driving my GR so not sure if I wanted to go back to that headache again. I go to places that have parking decks and city streets. So not sure if it's worth going to Eibach spring as a daily driver
Those headlights I’ve seen them on the 4door sedan Corolla does anyone know if they fit the older corollas like the 2021 Corolla ? I’ve been getting mixed reviews some say they fix others say they only fit the le models but I’ve seen the 2022 sedans with them
Not sure on figment but they do look like the same size. I would guess these have a different wiring harness due to the LED running light and turn signal but other than that should bolt up okay.
I had the same problem. Lots of popping and creaking noises when I first installed them. The fronts are really tricky to make sure they stay together. There’s an angled plastic piece that the top hat sits on and you HAVE to make sure that piece sits right. The trick for me was to leave the three top hat nuts completely loose so the tension doesn’t pull those pieces apart. Make sure you set the car on the ground to keep the spring pressure and keep everything aligned THEN tighten the three top hat nuts under the cowl. Super PITA but it completely fixed mine.
That’s it! Eibach Sportline springs, 30mm rear, 20mm front and remove the stock rear spacer. Get an alignment afterwards of course. You might benefit from rear camber arms in the future depending on how aggressive you want to go.
Doesn’t rub bad at all. It does a little bit if you throw it into a corner, but not bad if you run a little extra camber like I do. I think I am at -2° all around
It doesn’t rub. The fender liners have been tucked above the tabs and it has been aligned to have -2°/-3° of camber. This specific set up works with a budget if you don’t have $3000 to throw for coil overs and adjustable arms. Full suspension is obviously a better choice. Wider tires alone still wouldn’t yield you the look you get and track width you gain from putting spacers on the stock wheels. But if you have $6000 to spend on suspension, arms, new wheels and tires… by all means please do that. You will get better results. Eibach springs are $350 and the spacers are $200 for the people that are on a budget but want the look of this. In my case, This is temporary until I have a new set-up
I do have wider wheels and thicker tires that will go on the car in the spring. For now, the spacers are used for a wider track width on the stock wheels and tires. I’ve never had an issue running spacers. Every spacer horror story has been a result of not torquing to spec or not using proper equipment. With proper hub-centric spacers that fit, they are perfectly safe for use.
Awesome fitment!
never seen such high quality spacers, very interested because i love my factory wheels
Exactly how I felt. These are spot on
this went hard . beautiful fit
Good job! I did something very similar but I used 15mm front and 25mm rear spacer setup after seeing some people rub with the Swift springs and the 20mm/30mm spacers.

Ive got 20mm all around gonna run the 30s in back like you next
hows the ride quality with the lowering springs? I LOVE the way the stock suspension feels, but i want to lower mine.
Definitely go with eibach pro kit or the swift springs. The sportlines have given me a little bit of trouble because they sit so low
How are you liking the springs? I'm on the fence, get these or buy the Cusco Street Zero A coilover kit. Not many options ATM ya know
