I had aspirations of sticking some 15x9 -14 wheels under the stock arches and after my first measurements I wasn't too sure I was gonna get them under the car. A trip to the local parts store for some 3 inch lowering blocks and the game was on. The rear of the car went down without a fight and in 45 minutes the car was down in the back. I set the wheels under the car again after my test fit and got a better perspective of how far off I was. I then pie cut the inner fenders and applied the heat gun and broke out the roller and sledge hammer. Some beating and banging later and the car accepted my crazy offering. 15x9 -14 rota Alicia wheels on 195/45/15 Federal tires.
The front was just like lowering every other corolla I have ever slammed and right now is ghetto, but works. I think I ended up with almost 3 coils out of othe front end and the car still has suspension and the ride although not a cadillac is still bearable. The front got some 15x8 -5 rotas on the same size 195-45-15 federals. Next the attention was turned to fine tuning and I added some air shocks to the rear just in case I need to put some passengers in the car I can bring the tail up and still ride out.
I really have no future plans other then building a nice sound system in it for now. Once I get tired of the little 1.6L motor I may look into a 4G63 swap or something better. But fo rnow 60mph suits me and the car just find. So enough with the chit chat I suppose. Here are some pics. Hopefully you all don't hate me too much for altering such a nice original car, but in the end I think it has some major character now and definately won't be a forgot small car here in the So-Cal streets.

Hope we hear from him again, his car was something different in the crowd.
