Hi, brand new to the forum. I just came across a 78 corolla deluxe with a 2T-C engine. I am wanting to just do a little to the car. First and foremost is the suspension. The guy i got it from says he got it the way it was but i am not sure. The car drives okay. It does bounce a good amount and feels like it bottoms out at times??? I havent had a chance to look and see what has been done to the suspension. I am thinking i will just redo it all to be safe though. Any ideas as to what i should do to regain the ride-ability and keep the lowered look??? Not looking to spend a boat load of money but want it done right also. I look forward to hearing what you have to say and offer for insight. Thank you.

That is exactly what had happened. I just replaced the rear shocks with 1993 camaro rear shocks. Already a huge difference. Now the next is the front where the guy cut two coils out of the springs. I have been looking at the coilover conversion kit for the strut assembly.
