BlueKsev Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 I have xt130 struts here that I'm waiting for coilovers on, ( I'm keen as haha) the springs and spring perch is a lot bigger at the outside, but inside there is another groove further inside the perch that a ke70 spring fits in fine :y: Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah thats what I'm probably gonna do with mine and wire them in too. If I ever have some spare cash for bearings and rotors :( Being broke sucks the balls. Quote
BlueKsev Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) As far as i can tell these xt130 struts are about the same as ae86, its still recommended to use ae86 powersteering arms or you lose some of your lock.. And they have larger rotors on them and the callipers are very similar to the ke70 ones so I'm hoping its a pretty straight forward swap Edited February 4, 2012 by BlueKsev Quote
Heath. Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Posted February 1, 2012 Oh, no damage in the rear, the fronts can be damaged if the car is crazy low but thats crazy low. The shocks were made to operate in the car when they're extended to say, 400mm? And once you lower the car, they're operating at 320mm? Where the rebound and firmness of the c=shocks may be different. Those numbers are only made up too i don't know how long they run haha. Every time i post theres new messages above it must be confusing haha, this is a reply to you asking if it will damage the shocks ohhh ok i get ya. there is a pic of the front of the car. the sprigns I'm gettin will look about that low. more or less i don't know.. annnd as for the loosing lock... i have a sneaky other part for my car that will fix that ;) tx130 lca's + ajps full lock spacer - legalnessness = fully sick lock :dance: Quote
BlueKsev Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah that looks roughly the same height as mine, but that may change when i get these coilovers done :wink: And i've also got an ajps lock spacer on its way too haha, i'll lat you know how it goes anyway man, but you may even have it done before me haha Quote
