Ke55 Struts

[chestikoph1]

Hi everyone, aim new to the forum and new to the corolla experience, (previous ride MK1 cortina GT 2 door)

I have recently bought a ke55 hardtop and planning some mods, first one being front suspension. I have searched the forums a fair bit and found the info regarding the many strut /brake conversions e.g. xt130, RA40, RA60....... .But there doesn’t seem to be much on any one using the standard Ke55 strut and converting that to coilover and adapting larger brakes.

Has any one done this? And had success. Or is there some thing I don't Know.

Thanks

Sorry to be off topic but you sold a mk1 cortina GT 2 door and bought a ke55 hardtop? i would of stuck with the mk1 :wink:

Yeah I know :wink:

very expensive to race and look after the old girl. But with a new member to the family (baby girl) it had to go, and be replaced with some thing cheaper, hence the corolla.

so any feedback on the suspension would be great.
