Ke70 Coilovers Into Ke36?

[billett86]

As the title states just trying to find out whether ke70/ae86 front coilovers will fit into a ke36?

Should go pretty easily. You'd just have to run the ae86 steering arm to run them. I'm not sure if ke36 and ke70 are the same or not. Chuck on the ke36 top hat and in they go.

 

You can run either your ke36 brakes or run the ke70 / ae86 ones

the coilovers have adjustable camber tops? would it be possible to run them?

[Jono.C]

If they're the same bolt spacing as your ke36 then they should fit

I'm fairly sure KE3x strut tops have the bolts equidistant from the centre, like an equilateral triangle. Whereas with KE70 strut top all the bolts are different distances from the centre, like an scalene triangle, where the bearing in the strut top is offset towards the rear of the triangle. AE86 strut top are the same bolt pattern as KE70, but the bearing in the strut top is offset towards the front of the triangle. Thus KE70/AE86 strut tops won't fit and you'll have to use the standard KE3x ones.

 

Also I'm not sure you can put the KE36 brakes on the AE86 struts, I don't think they will fit?
