zacharyo Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I know this is a noob question but do i need to get something to change the camber on my front wheels, like an adjustable camber set or can i just do it stock. Or is it easier to buy the front set up out of a later model corolla cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e70van Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 two ways you can add neg camber to the front of your ke70. 1. You need to buy adjustable camber tops to suit an ae86 sprinter and adjust them to the camber you want. $200+ 2. buy xt130 corona lower control arms from the wreckers ($20-100) and bolt them in. this will give you approx 1.5-2.5degrees of camber and increase your overall wheel track by 20mm ish. (your rims will stick out more) here is what corona lower control arms with 7" wide rims looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&S Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 What about ona ke55? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacharyo Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 okay so i have to keep an eye out for the corona lower arms, is it a certain model corona or ? I'm new to the modifying scene and aren't too sure about what i'm doing. So could someone send me a photo of what I'm looking for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKsev Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah xt130 model corona. They are around 1983 sort of. The ke70 and xt130 lower control arms don't look much different but heres a link anyway - http://www.rollaclub.com/board/uploads/monthly_05_2008/post-2819-1210146462_thumb.jpg The camber from Corona lower control arms is small enough its only just noticeable from the outside. If your after more camber, say if you use the Ke for track use then theres a certain model mitsubishi sigma lower control arm for that. Gives probably too much for road use though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch-12 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 i have a set of the mitsubishi ones for sale apparently around 4deg but depends how low the car is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styler Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Camber is needed if you lean on the front wheels a lot to maintain tyre contact patch through a turn, if you aren't driving in this style it will just prematurely wear your tyres so consider your driving style first and then secondly consider that camber tops are adjustable on the fly ie easily vs lower control arms which are somewhat permanent during driving, so its better to do camber tops if your strut springs allow the movement in the wheel arch without contacting the strut tower and you might have to convert to coil overs as qld code / ncop only allows 25mm tack increase overall so its a more flexible solution really in relation to tyre wear and doesn't increase track, which is often taken up easily by wider wheels with a different offset wheels which uses the 25mm track increase, 12.5mm per side from stock.

xris Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) We cut and shut and extended my corona lca's :lol: worked a treat. also cut and shut my knuckles for extra lock also. love driving/drifting this car now :D So you could just cut and extend your lca's and steering arms if you can't find any corona wrecks.

ke70dave Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 ke30 I'm fairly sure are exact same length as the beloved xt130 control arms. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/36528-xt130ke3055-lcas/ http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/tech-conversions/25687-ke30-xt130-front-struts.html reference there^^ ive seen xt130 arms sell for $200, funny when you can probably get ke30 arms for free!

zacharyo Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 okay well after reading all these posts, I'm pretty much sold on these corona lca's i spent all day ringing toyota wreckers in victoria and none of them have coronas or corollas of that age. And anyway i don't want to get ripped off by some asshole at a wreckers anyway so I'm starting to consider some adjustable camber tops for an ae86, don't suppose anyone knows where i could find some cheap ones ? Thanks for the help guys :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Corona LCA's are the cheap option. Expect a couple of hundred for camber tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Coronas, Celicas, KE 55s and KE70s here in Orange. You'll have to get out into the countryside. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/52168-at-the-wreckers-in-orange-jun-2011/ Have you checked through here? http://www.rollaclub.com/board/forum/93-vehicles-wrecking/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help guys :D Dude, wreckers now a days rarely waste their time pulling apart corollas or coronas of this age. the best place to looks for parts for a ke70 is self serve wrecking yards. Don't call them. Go there with your tools, pull the shit off and learn how it all works! so again go to - pick-a-part campbellfield and kilsyth, center rd wreckers clayton, jollys in dandenong. you will find what your after. also cheap camber tops here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AE86-Toyota-Corolla-Camber-Plates-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588e8fbcc3QQitemZ380348906691QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Edited July 23, 2011 by e70van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
