Suspension question
Currently on my car I have a set of Megan's racing coilovers. My question is would it be possible to replace there shocks with a set of tokico hts? I'm also planning on getting some swift springs.

Thanks!

Short story, Megan shocks are not hollow struts containing cartridges and will not take hts.

Sounds a lot like you wan't to mix things up just for the sake of it.

So you coilovers are perfectly fine? If so do not change them for the sake of changing stuff.

if your megan coilovers losing performance, get the dampers refurbished, thats all. in theory, the megan large diameter pistons should work far better than the tokicos.

Depends on the valving.. most Taiwan specials use very limited valving code types (one size fits all). There are shops in the uk and us now that will revalve them nowadays. Interesting option imho..

I'm not going to do so at the moment. Just when i felt it was time to upgrade the suspension i want to go with the hts. If i could get them to fit with my megan's racing coilovers then great if not i would find a way to get them to fit onto my corolla. I think i have to get coilover sleeves?

You need something like the T3 struts. Stock struts, shortened and converted to coilovers.
