    ive heard you can use falcon springs at all four CORNERS on a ke70. but im pretty sure ke70's have tiny struts, though someone who owns one should clarify this.
    i would expect to pay $20 for a pair of falcon springs. and about 22cents in angle grinder disc... sorry im a smartarse i know.

    i've heard the same thing, 70 sprin seats are different so you can run falcons in the front as well.

    hi guys,

    Here in the UK I know that Mk1/Mk2 Ford Escort shocks are just the same as a AE86/KE70 set up for shocks, and you can get them in short stroke adjustable ones from AVO.

    just another idea for shocks at the rear.

    also, I have heard that Ford Escort Cosworth rear springs with a coil taken off are a good replacement for rear springs.

    Dont know if you have these cars on your side but again, more options!

    I run TRD Blu * way Adj rear shocks and some 'unknown' Jap springs (bright orange??)

    i just bought hilux RWD front shocks (to be put on the rear of my 86) and i am under the impression that these matched up with cut falcon springs are a good match (pretty much what beau yates used in the beginning)...is this correct??? coz i'm having trouble finding info...

    if it is correct...how do i know how low to cut the springs so they stay captive and good ride height?

    yeh i heard beau yates used to run hilux ones. i also heard he ran sierra ones. drift battle mag reccomend sierra ones.

    a good way to decide how many coils to cut off, if your car is already lowered and you like the hight, try and get a tape measure in behind the wheels and measure the length of the spring under load. then depending on what springs your putting in and whats already there, you have a good idea on how much to cut off.

    ive got a set of mk 2 escort shocks in the back of my car and they fitted straight in and are shorter stroke, mk 1 escort shocks wont fit as they have the same kinda mounting at the top as they have at the bottom,
    how many coils would people recomend to cut off falcon springs if using commodore shocks or simmilar??
