i used kp61 starlet struts and widened my control arms

in australia, you'd have to get such a changeover certified by an automotive engineer, so you'd ask your engineer. do you have such a requirement in america?

 

if not, i'd weld up and re-drill the backing plate to suit the strut, or just make a whole new caliper backing plate from the same thickness of steel as the original one. alloy if you're feeling like spending money

 

don't weld and drill the cast strut

the ke30 discs on my ke15 bolted straight up. the original struts just needed redrilling and tapping to take the later larger bolts.

do you think the te30 are the same?

[Super Jamie]

ke30 and te30 have different front struts and different sized brake rotors, no idea about the calipers and backing plates and rotor bolt pcd

 

it appears there exist ke1x struts with a different backing plate bolt pattern, which is what nardy has

no, america just has emissions standards, especially in california, wher they can sieze your car if it has been modified

my old struts had a flat plate with 4 bolts holding it on and two wheel cyls

maybe felix or rol-110 can post pics?

my old struts are in san diego

"k" model corollas are pretty rare out here; most were 2tc's
