hey people

 

i was down at repco yesterday and the fella there mentioned that one of his friends used mr2 front struts in the rear of a ke70. I don't know what model mr2 excactly but it has the 3sge engine not a 4age or 4agze. Is this fella talking out of his arse or is it possible and practical.

 

did a quick google search and this came up:

a ke70 fitted with AE86 struts (F) fitted with KYB SW20 MR2 short stroke shocks.

 

cheers des

The 3sg powered mr2 is the sw20.

To me, practical would have to be cost, ease of getting, fitting and drivability.

 

But anywhat, i'd say do some cross-referencing.

 

What i found so far is -

http://www.monroe.com/

has some PDF pages that can be downloaded, but the measurements are in inches. Plus an eCatalogue. But you can't cross-reference from the part numbers themselves and it seams like the part numbers for Monroe Australia are different

Doesn't list all the cars, but still. Something that i found interesting is that the front shockies from the ae82 are the same ones used in the front struts of the sv2x.

i can get them brand new for cheap so thats not a real worry yet.just fitment and drivability is what I'm worried about. :D
