Jono.C Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Cheers! Think i've finally sorted my tie-rod issue as well. Pretty sure i'll run t18 brakes. Not keen on how overpriced ae86 brakes are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Waiting on parts!! T18 brakes wont be an option as the stub axles would be knackered by the time i got them off. So back on the hunt for brakes to get this thing low! Need to get the passenger celica seat mounted. My god are they a massive improvement!! Thinking about these.. Not usually one for fender mirrors. but i think these would suit. Not not insanely tall and you can change the angle. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono.C Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 ^ I'm just glad they came! It's Australia post's fault. Mind you, They shipped parts from the US of A and Malaysia faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 ^ I'm just glad they came! It's Australia post's fault. Auspost seem to be pretty unreliable ATM! It took a week and a half for a sample to arrive at work recently. They should work really well Jono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I hope so, Going to get this front end sorted first. Just need to figure out my balljoint situation and brakes and then i'm set Thinking these will have to wait until i get ke30/55 rear axles in it.. Stiff/ static low on 155 wide 12's seems very very loopable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono.C Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Fiddled with my shocks today and figured out how you adjust them. It's pretty balla! Fair old school. Old shocks out. Apparently, These were classed as shocks back in the 60's... New shocks in Going to need a 175/50 or 165/55 and a minor guard roll to get as low as i'd like..

philbey Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 What model shocks, what car are they from, what'd you pay etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I got these of "Benzo" on here, They're Te27 shocks. I had an educated guess at them fitting. Ke20 fits in ke10, and te27 fits in ke20 so.. They fit! The only thing you have to worry about really is the width of the eye at the bottom of the shock fitting inbetween the plates I paid $150 which i thought was pretty decent, They feel pretty fresh and there's a lot of adjustment in them, Right now with just shocks alone the rear end is rock hard with minimal movement The only other thing i'll have to watch is that the handbrake cable sits very close to the fatter shocks, both tensioned and loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
