When modifying #E3#-series Corolla, the first concern is the handling and the weakness of the powertrain. Rear leaf springs are soft, and the support is weak. I had once a Corolla KE30 with 4A-GE. It was real nice sleeper - green colour, four door-model, towing hook until some bastards stole and raped it. Pictures coming soon. Anyhow, problem with handling was solved (not perfectly; full throttle accelerations with on-off clutch did bend the leafsprings and that caused rear-axle bouncing) with an axle from the Carina TA-12 and the leaf springs from a KE36 (the station wagon) with an additional leaf.

Another method of reducing tramp is to add a thick leaf on top of the front section only of the leaf pack. I have read about people getting another top leaf (as in the one with the leaf eye), cutting the eye off, cutting the leaf off behind the U bolt, and attaching this above the original top leaf, to good effect.

If you're using old leaves, a cheap way of reducing tramp is simply to swap the leaves from side to side. After all the years of winding one way, reversing the winding will make the leaves stiffer temporarily. This may change back in a short amount of time, or it might take another 30-odd years

Beyond this, you can setup a trailing arm system, or 4-link/5-link , or a Kaltracks rear end, but these are all too complex to be within the scope of this article.

Rear suspension
The rear is leaf springs, like all corollas up till the KE70 series starting about early 1981 (or 1979 in Japan). To stiffen them I have used Wagon main leafs (a bit thicker) with normal coupe leafs and a extra leaf from a wagon. The wagon leafs are different lengths so the pack is still of different lengths. I have a selection of different leaves which can be used to change the stiffness of the back. To lower it (and to counter the extra hiegh the extra leaf gives), I have tuned one leaf upside down. If you have a wagon, the thick bottom leaves (helper springs) should not be used, as the thick ones effect things negatively when you lower it. The bump stops can be cut in half to regain some travel. You should not lowered it too much because the rear shocks are mounted at an angle so lowering greatly reduces the effect of the shocks. It would be good to relocate the top shock mount so they are verticle. Turning a leaf spring upside down is not the best, but a cheap way to lower a bit. Idealy, the springs should have lube or some plasic spacing between them so they can slide against each other, and just work as a spring like they should and not bind up, letting the shock do all the damping.
