Xt130 Struts Into A Rt142??

[ke70-dori]

Got an rt142 corona wagon, have some xt130 struts with big breaks. Wondering if I put a coil over kit on them would they bolt upto the rt142?

 

If not ill source for ra65 struts.

 

Cheers

the xt130 struts have more -ve camber built in, compared to the rt142, probably about 2deg or so, and i believe the steering arm has a different bolt pattern so you will need to use the xt ones (or ae86 i believe), apart from that it should be fine.

on a side note if all you want is bigger brakes mx73 vented brakes bolt on to the rt142 struts, and work very well with good pads.

does anyone know if wagon springs would fit in the sedan ? {both non IRS models}

so all id need is ae86 steering arms and theyd bolt up? the also have the lowercontroll arms conneted to them would i use them or stick with the rt142 ones?

ill be just getting decent springs and good inserts rather than going sleeve kit i reckon as its my daily
