ae86 suspension for other cars

[am_izham]

hi to all sifus here.

i was just being asked by some of my friends wether starlet KP61 and corolla KE70 can fit AE86 suspension. thinking to myself why not? well maybe it's not a direct fit and need a little mod but i was just wondering if there is anything available new locally. i mean the springs and absorbers. excluding Titan shocks and other coilovers system btw, just springs and absorbers.

for ke70... u cannot fit a full front ae86 absorbers without the bottom
ae86 arm which holds the steering rods/absorber bottom. This arm
is just directly above your front lower arms. But-- u can use ae86
front absorber's inserts without any modifications. If u wanna use
a full ae86 front absorbers with original ae86 absorber casing then
u need the ae86 arm i mentioned... some ae86 absorber sets from
halfcut come with that arm.
For ke70, the back ae86 absorbers are total 100% plug & play. No
modifications needed. KP60/61 on the other hand are not as friendly
towards ae86 parts. There are a lot of stuffs on ae86 & ke70 which
are similar... there are also a few incompatibilities in between this
2 model... some will turn into nightmares.. for a total understanding
of issues involve in cross platform building between engines like 4agze, 20v, 16v into te71, ke10,ke20,ke30,ke70, te71, ae86... I suggest
u come to http://olskool.l2tt.net/ .... which is our ol skool headquarters
& also u can go http://www.drift.com.my for drift specific setups on ol
skool machines.. subsequently u can PM us on the sites mentioned
for gatherings & knowledge sharing sessions. I'm not promoting anything
here but in order to grow, we need to have extensive channels for
knowledge gathering
