thats about all you need.

the standard ae86 brakes arent tooo much of an upgrade for ke70, but it does allow you to upgrade them easily (either to the jap vented disc, or to the other various upgrades, RX7/wilwood etc)

btw steering nuckels are the same as steering arms.

if they are the xt130 arms, they are a tad longer than the standard 86/70 arms. so you will get a bit of static camber with them.

your current brake lines will work with the 86 calipers, as will your tie rod ends.

you may require longer rack ends if you want to use the xt130 arms (i belive RA40 is the pick, someone someone may need to confirm)

Stock rack ends will do fine for XT130 Lower Control Arms. Only need longer ones if the LCA is 10mm greater than stock (Sigma or the likes etc.)

the setup im getting is the jdm so better than adm brakes i herd larger disks and stuff

so there deffintly isnt anything else i need to do this

cheers wal

any other parts i mean beacese hes about to pull the parts off for me

[ke70dave]

yer the jap discs are teh same diameter as the ADM discs they are just vented rather than solid.

adm = 234 x 12mm solid (i think its 12mm...)
JDM = 234 x 18mm vented

nah that should be it mate.

get the rubber brake lines with the brakes if you can, cos if you don't you will find your ones are perished, just murphy's law.
I did this exact same swap into my ae71, only i used ae86 powersteering arms which give you better lock.
i got neg 0.75 degrees camber both sides with the corona arms and ae86 standard strut tops.
So one thing to have a look at is whether using the ae71 strut tops gives you better camber, i never got around to checking mine before i got adjustable strut tops and coilovers.

thanks i will have to look into that. and hopefully it has power streering arms, iv herd that they are alot better

also does anyone no if ae86 have the same setup as the ae85

AE85 will be the same as Aus delivered AE86
