Just to make sure I'm clear......... On what I've read so far.
1, Standard rears give you 2" lift on the front??
2, Leaving the rear mount standard and extending the chassis , how far does the Diff move forward??
3, with extending your chassis do you use a standard length shackle or does it need to be longer?
4, How far does a FUR with Lux springs move your diff back?????
5, Has anyone got the year of lux needed?
6, The unlikely one........ length of the lux spring.

I need to stretch a few extra inches out of the wheel base for the Frankenrolla. Be nice for a bit of good flex as well.

1 not always depends on how its set up between spring and shackle mounts

2 mine moved about 25 mm

3 you can use either, I'm using extended but I set it up like that it gives me no/ little more lift really just more droop and a better shackle angle

can't help with the lux shit sorry mate

I think bluesuzy is using corolla springs in the back now. The 323 ones got a little bent.

My rears are ke30/55main, ke70 main cut to size, then rest of ke30/55 pack.

Ke70 wagons springs are mega long. Longer then ke30/55's

I did run 323's. I snapped one.. Farking hard to find. so went rolla's..

15mm.

Rolla springs are standard 500mm pinhole. Perch's and plates 15mm redrilled. Rear shackle mount is cut off and remounted. Also running double size shackles.

Your wheel base is 40mm out yes?

Just redrill your perch's and plates. Is this going to be an onroad or offroad corolla crossover?

will be used both on & off road, short distance only to work.

Want to sneak 50-60mm extra into the wheel base so the tyres won't scrub on turns. I plan to cut the guards anyway for the extra wheel diameter. will need to find some good flares as well.
