Increasing performance-95 Corolla 1.8L 7AFE

I have not been able to find a rear sway bar for the 95 Corolla. I agree...I think it would make a huge difference but I am unable to find one :(

I have found something called a rear tie bar but I do not believe it does much.

Your Matrix and a '95 Corolla have COMPLETELY different rear suspension systems.

1. Replace rubber bushings with harder poly bushings
2. Shorter, stiffer springs
3. Upgrade the struts - not sure if Bilsteins are available
4. Do you have after market clutch options - stronger motor mounts?
5. You can improve the acceleration by reducing the weight - get rid of the back seat, carpet, under coating, sound insulation, AC, radio, and speakers. Replace the glass side windows with Plexiglas, replace the front seats with light weight carbon fiber seats, replace the gas tank (metal?) with a smaller fuel cell.
6. You can stiffen the body by bead welding all of the seams.
7. The final performance improvement - NOS!

Would I do any of this myself? I have stripped out the > I have:

I have done the bushing thing before and they squeak like crazy after time!!

NOS is not what I am looking at for streetability and commuting :)

Removing items would not be what my wife would go for.

Thanks for the imput. All great ideas!

No one says you have to use it at every stop light :-)

You would need to remove everything to bead weld all of the seams. This takes time, but it improves the body. You can just forget to put everything back on the car :-)

Good luck with the project and keep us updated!
