KE70 front spring options

[lilslvrrolla]

Hey guys,

I'm putting in XT130 struts into a KE70 which I'm going to modify the lower spring perch to allow for a different spring.

Since I've been chasing 6kg KE70 front springs for a while with no luck, I was just wondering what common springs would fit the KE70 upper spring perch and what is the width of an AE86 spring (in the off chance that would fit)? I really want a stiffer rate and lower spring and from what I gather there are quite a few 86 options but not KE?

Also want to avoid cut springs and I don't want coilovers just yet, but its mighty tempting, less bullshit but I have to wait longer haha.

Should I be looking down the path of getting 86 springs and upper spring perches?

Any advice would be great, and pointing me in the direction of parts would be even better. Sorry if this has been asked 1000 times before, I haven't really found much info on this little bit though.

Thanks,

Ethan

AE86 springs will fit on the bottom perch(KE70) no worries but you will have to use the upper perch(top hat) from a pair of AE86 struts as the spring is connical and tappers down to a smaller coil.

I did this when I put my AE86 lovell springs on my KE70 struts.

I found the KE sits perfect with these springs in.
