Medicine_Man Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 The KE70s came out with 2 different size inserts for the front struts. Not sure if the AE86 ones are the same, But you can get a set of ae86 struts and steering arms and bolt them in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch13 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 AE86 front struts are different but interchangable as said above. Rear is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 grab a tape measure and go to the wreckers, its amazing what kind of combos you can come up with. You could try xt130 corona lcas if youd like a mild amount of negative camber. Go hard on the search tool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Standard KE70 strut inserts are 43mm, AE86 are 51mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 If you put the AE86 struts in you will also have to change the strut tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
