yeah those bush kits are on ebay US quite often. I don't see why they wont ship internationally.... Might be worth asking them? Post the results to see if they will ship internationally!

Yeah i'd love to have those front struts and steering arms but..... rare as hens teeth. Was tempted by getting the chunkier ma61 struts and brake set up but with no steering arms...... hm..... have to keep a look out for those bits (not that I don't keep my eye open....)

My interior with gay but cool JDM gear knob and super cool steering wheel with no horn and my indicators don't click off :hammer: but hey its jdm tyte yo

Thats pretty cool of you to let me know that info. So for me to run ae86 coilovers I need the brakes and sterring arms.... i thought I'd need rack and other bits as well! so thats a pleasant surprise Cheers Neo :lol: Also this is the surprise hmm.. no wonder i gots a 4x4 jacked up rear :) umm yeah i think i need those springs and shocks now :)

That drop is decent enough for me... so that's a legal drop? I don't think there are any legalities here abuot how low you want to be. The Monroe sport shocks enough to cope with this I take it.... If as david says the ke70 bushes are identical I can get these here in the uk so might pass on those... I will have to digest the rest of the ino sometime as you all have some decent info and comments that I need to respond to Cheers dudes :)

pics of bushes? yeah will try and do that sometime.... but here in the uk, as its winter and i finish work at 6pm..... its dark when i go to work and dark when i get back :) Prices seem reasonable its the shipping id be worried about haha what drop are the kings low?

Pretty competitive price there about £70? yeah deffo inspiration with spraying each of the components black as it looks so much better than caked on shit like mine heh pdf please :)

I will probably sort out a set of bumpers for myself and keep hold of a set for you too :) I'll find out the cost of them etc... probably wont be until after xmas anyway as I'm going to try and sort out the rust. OK start the list now. 1) I want f/r shocks and springs stiffer and lower any suggestions?

I'll have to get a copy of that... do they do international deliveries considering they are in Wales??

Nick: Yeah I've read that thread before but thanks for the reminder- maybe i need to re-read that! Teddy. Sounds like you be the man for the job! As long as bits don't cost the earth i might have to take you up on that... thanks I know i deffo need new shocks and springs front and rear - in fact some uprated bits and lowered also. In return would you be interested in chrome bumpers? I might know of some available (one set will be mine but I'm sure they have a few sets - front and rear)

i did do some searching ....... neolythane bushes seem to come up. so maybe someone cna shed some information there? i hear so much bullshit about the ae86 parts that bolt on (not referring directly at your comment as i appreciate your answer and help there dude) about diffs gearboxes and even down to 86 seats fitting in my ke70 (of which i tried and only the2 outer bolt holes line up. the other 2 are about 20mm between face of mounting hole and flange of runner) Is there someone out there that have actually taken suspension/bits from an ae86 and bolted them on no fuss? that can help answer these q's please? If i had access to an ae86 i'd try it and report back so we know exactly what fits and what doesn't............ I guess I'm the onlyone looking for these answers? :) cheers in advance

yeah well id struggle to do one in weeks! i = sucky n00b

Can i be your friend :bash: :D

F*** ME This thread is another of those I love reading and lokoing at the pictures. The photos help the story move along nicely. Really appreciate the time and effort into uploading and posting it. In fact the photos of the individual parts and the naming is a really helpful reference to n00b's like moi haha... really sh!t hot work there and really reckon you could pdf the whole thing and let people download the whole document - to print or read. As in some respects it's giving me some inspiration to get the rust sorted on my ke70 and follow in your footsteps............ maybe in the future sometime! Cheers and keep them coming dude

Just wondering where and what bushes you guys are using to replace the old worn bits of rubber?? I'm in uk and can't really find anyone with the bits here. and the companies I've looked at are www.polybush.co.uk www.superflex.co.uk all of which don't list the ke70...... they do list some of the other toyotas' like the ae86 etc, which leads me on to another question. Would those fit the ke70? Bascially drove the car back and it was giving me some knocking noises from the rear passenger side so jacked her up yesterday removed the rims and found a few surprises! mainly rust!!!!! :bash: :bash: :bash: and also monroe shock with 4x4 stuck to it....... no wonder she's riding that much air in between tyre and arch... so need to get some suspension sorted. no cut springs or bodges just some lowered springs and decent shocks all round and replace all bushes. In fact I need help on both suspension and also the bushes so :D any help?? international distributers or any that do the ke 70...

uk must be different. I have a gl badge on my car..... not sure on the differences between a dx badged ke and a gl badged one. mine is a late spec 4 door with 4k manual - also rear seat belts (don't know if they were standard or aftermarket) although they had been ripped out by previous owner

Well i picked up my ke70 last night after about 300 mile round trip in the bro in laws mk1 fiesta 1.1 :) It's a 1983 gl 4 door without the rs wattanas (unfortunately :o ) the car is sweet no rear bumper some little bits of rust but the sills, boot, suspension mounts are all rock solid and with 33k on the clock ;) smashed sidelight and tatty bumpers (but will be ordering some chrome bumpers as they stock them in uk :blush: ) The car has been stripped out and all thats left are the front seats...rear seats (at my request) door cards and dash. Here are the pics of from previous owner I'm pretty pleased

well this other one i'm looking at (waiting for owner to agree or not) is really decent as well and is a later spec but 4 door and stripped out.... so i won't be in 2 minds about a whether to make it stripped out track car if its already done :) will be back with more info if and when i get it!

:D good or bad?

well i was being stupid and sold the kp to keep the ke70...... then an offer came up to buy an euro levin (ae86) lhd much cheaper than jap/uk levin......and as prices of rhd are way more than i can afford i sold the ke70 to buy it.............. only to be screwd over - man I was pi$$ed off but now I've found another ke70 and on the verge of buying so I'll be returning soon hopefully!!!!!!

do a jdm stylee job...... get a big round metal bar wedge it between metal lip and tyre and get a mate to hold it while you reverse and go forward rolling the bar ....bending and flattening the lip

i'll take the bugeyes

its actually BO JDM TYTE YO! and that hachi is BOROSHA tyte

i think wideass 14's look jdmtyte yo on a ke70 liking the hayashi racing rims

yeah that be me! no way could i build this AE70 I'm aiming for lol
