Budget Upgrade

[ke70_sa]

hi guys.

i finally got some cash to spend on the car and i wana upgrade my suspension before i look at anything else.

what would be sugested to be the best setup at a limit of $500.

i was thinkin cut ford springs at the back end.
and s13 struts and xt130 corona control arms at the front.
i've heard some R32 stuff goes into the ke70 front aswell, anybody care to claify?

who out there could help me out with a better set up or some ideas when it comes to fitting all this stuff as i don't have much of an idea with the suspension side of things.

oh, i need to daily my car, so i don't want camber wear to the max so that ruled out the sigma control arms.
cheers!

$500...ok here goes

falcon springs cut down - $50 incl grinder
s/s rear shocks 100-160
strut brace - $100-200
corona arms - $150
lock spacer $65
caster rod bushes $35
good alignment $50
lock diff $50
cut + shut your panhard rod
some 14x6.5 at least 185/60 - $?

should be a fun car....there is heaps of other budget shit to do if you have a welder

what trueno sedan has said is pretty good deal

that will get it going nicely

just a note, anything to do with S13/skyline stuff will blow your 500$ budget right out of proportion, think my s13 front end cost me just on 1200$ when taking everything into account (admitidly i did get my coilovers rebuilt (600$ in total, inlcuding purchase of coilovers))

if you look around you should be able to pick up some cheap parts, panhard rod/strut brace etc.

yeah, what trueno sedan said should be good,
you can get some parts even cheaper than that if u look around in parts for sale aswell

[ke70_sa]

OH..
i have a welder too. but i dunno what kind it is, whether its a TIG or a MIG or whatever.
what kind is needed?

[blair]

the kind that makes a bit of metal stick to another bit of metal...

edit: didnt mean to sound harsh
welding is welding when your talking about a corolla

falcon (EA-EF, i think) rears wil fit ke rears (ive got ea rears)

i think falcon fronts (EA-AU? once again not quite sure) will fit ke fronts aswell

if u get the fairlane ones they will be stiffer again,

well they better
i stole me some today
lol

also xt130 control arms get em from the wreckers its cheap like 30 bux, or free if u do dodgey
