kurts1 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Hey guys... I'm new to this... I'm looking for ae86 suspension and brakes for my ke70 wagon... What bits do i need to do the upgrade? am i looking for the whole steering setup or just struts and lower control arms? could someone please give me a list of what parts i will be needing to put these in my corolla.. Camber tops? can i add these straight on to the top of the ae86 struts or is there other modifying needed? For brakes I'm planning on using the hubs and brakes off the front ae86 struts, and for the back i will be looking at converting to a hilux diff and redoing the stud pattern to 4x114.3... I will realize i will have to upgrade the master cylinder will the ae86 one do? or will i be looking for something bigger? Thanks... any help is appreciated Quote
ke70dave Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 ae86 master cylinder is exact same as the ke70 item. for the front you need: ae86: struts, calipers, dics, hubs, steering arms and rubber brake lines you can keep your ke70 castor arms, LCA's. camber tops will fit onto the struts no problem (they come with a little spacer you need to put between the top and your strut), but you will have limited adjustment with the standard spring since its quite large and will hit the strut tower when you try and move it. what makes you want the hilux diff? its a bit of a monster. with just the front calipers changed to 86 you will not need a mastercylinder upgrade, and with the hliux diff you will most likey need an adjustable proportioning valve, though i am unsure on the pison size of the hilux slave cylinders compared to the stock items, maybe some research you can do;) 1 Quote

I mite possibly keep the standard diff and rear end but am not sure yet will see what its like once i have done the engine conversion... Thanks for the help Quote
kurts1 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Posted October 4, 2010 Say if i was to use cressida struts... would i still need those parts or would i need everything? Thanks Quote
