Ae71 Springs!

[x744]

Hey! is it possible for me to put KE70 king springs all round on the stock struts and shocks?

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Yes, they are identical.

awesome, so i can put them on stock struts?

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Yep.

check your fronts .... sometimes the AE71's had different front struts - and most (if not all) AE71 wagons have the different struts. These struts have springs that are interchangeable with AE86 struts - not KE70

The defining characteristic is the top loop in the spring. If it's the same size as the rest of the spring, it's KE70 equivalent, if it's smallwer than the rest of the spring, it's the AE86 equivalent.

 

caveat: I've never actually swapped the springs in my AE71 - this is just information I gained along the way :)

if you look in the King Springs catalogue, they list (at least they used to) two different part numbers for the front springs in an AE71 depending on year and/or sedan/wagon configuration.
