Okay i know its a pretty silly question but i have searched the web and i havent come across any threads/sites that say if i need to change the master cylinder?

I'm stuck between XT130 struts and T18 struts.

essentially all i want them for is the brake upgrade in my ke70.

I want to know if I have to change the brake master cylinder or will the T18/XT struts just bolt in and i can then run the standard ke70 brake master?

i know i have to change over the strut tops and whatnot, as am i aware that XT's are a tad bigger and there are decent upgrades available in the long run.

I just want to get my car running... hahahah

 

If i don't have to change the master cylinder I'm going for XT, but if i have to change it to run T18 struts i might as well change it to suit XT.

thanks in advance :)

FAQ has the peug /hilux brake upgrade for corona struts. Many people run standard M/C, but you'll have a bit more pedal travel than standard and a tendancy to lock up the rears. You can back off the drums evenly on each side to get it braking a little better but matching MC to the brakes is a good idea and safer. I think corona is 7/8's bore, 13/16th's or 3/4 on the corolla.

do you mean tendancy to lock up under hard breaking?

maybe ill just grab the mc if i go down the path of xt brakes

how about for the T18 brakes?

thanks alot!

T18 run the same MC. Cylinder sizes won't match right so the rear brakes more than the front. Might be worth comparing the proportioning valve under the MC, as that may just have a different size hole in it and fix the issue.
