    Borla Exhaust

    it is suppose to come with a gasket that bolts it to the car but nothing in between the two pipes....and you use the original hardware from your exhaust to screw it on.

    RUNNING A TIRE STRETCH ON OEM 2014 COROLLA 17in rims

    so im in the market go getting new rims but i have always loved the corolla 17in rims that come on the corolla S model....my car is lowered on coils and i want it to have the wide stance from an offset rim....would it be too much to stretch the tire on the stock rims and throw on some spacers?

    Drive shaft noise

    lowering a car does give premature wear to the car because you need to take into consideration the components you are placing 5-6 inches closer to the ground than intended, but here in california isn't really a problem I'm talking more the states with salt all over the roads....but.... the drive...

    Changing size of tires from 16" to 17"

    the OEM rims of 2014 corolla s are 17's but even if you choose to not go with those exact specs.... any 17 inch rim will work.

    Changing size of tires from 16" to 17"

    215 45 r17 is the OEM tire size for the rims that come with the 2014 corolla S....practically the same car as yours just a different trim so if you don't want to have to deal with weight issues just stick with those dimensions.

    TRD springs: DIY or no?

    installing springs is easy.....i installed all around coilovers with nothing but hand tools and i hope to never do that again....tbh the hardest part of it all is compressing the spring with hand tools so i suggest trying to find a electric wrench but if not than it is 100% doable with just hand...
