ST 150 & AT 151 Corona

[2 Old 2 Rusty]

Hi Guys,

Was wondering if there're any AT150 & AT 151 Corona owners in the house. Maybe we can exchange some notes on this rusty bucket of mine:regular_smile:

Hi there, bro.

I've used the Corona for some time now but no problem with the parts so far.:regular_smile:

What part are you looking for ? Maybe I can help.

Was doing the same thing when I first transplanted my engine but later when I found adjustables / coil overs, it solved my problem. I 've 2 sets; one JIC & one more RG Japan. Trust me, it's much harder than you think bro.:regular_smile:

 

[Levin92]

actually wat i mean not enough hard is the normal sport absorber n spring...
adjustable for AE92 hard to get?

adjustable for AE92 hard to get?

It seems that the AE92 adjustables are more difficult to find than the AE101 /111 ones these days. I think there're beginning to extinct / pupus oredi. When I was in Japan, I also hardly see any AE92 parts in the used parts shops.:Not_Impressed:

AE101 /111 adjustables can fit into our car?

AE101 /111 adjustables can fit into our car?

I was told that the front of 101's the same as the 92 but the rear's different. I'm not sure if changing the knuckles will do the job; as in 150 change to 92 knuckle, in my case.

I called a mechanic in Selayang recently when I saw his ad in the Motor Trader selling his St150 Corona with 3S-GE engine. The ad says that Koni shox fitted, so I asked him what model were the shox from. He said 101/111. So I guess it'll fit with some minor work on it, although no plug & play.

I was thinking too coz nowadays the 92 shox are getting rare, if the 101/111 fits our car, it's good news !

It's difficult to judge how long the shox will last coz it also depends on how you drive the car, bro. If you drive like a WRC driver, then I'm afraid it won't last very long; no matter what brand.

There are other brands like Paraut (Jpn), Kayaba, Monroe & 1 more American brand, I forgot its name that has the "inserts" you were talking about. You don't have to change the whole unit; just the inserts.

Just a word of caution, it's very dangerous to drive to shox that no longer works, bro.

If you want shox that lasts, then get coilovers or adjustables; they call it. They definately lasts longer than standard shox a lot.
