Can I use falcon Springs in my ke70

[dioxide]

SO i heard you can get any model falcon springs

cut them in half and use them in the front and back of a ke70/ae71

true / false?

[AE71GZE]

False.
Rears yes but cut in half the car would be draggin its can around .

[Gilly]

for the Falcon springs in the rear, cut them down aiming for around 220 - 200mm free height (uncompressed height)

don't know about the front....

[steroidchickens]

i wouldnt cut them in half just cut a couple of coils at a time. xf xe ea au falcon springs fit in the reare dont know about other models.
try searching

[driftke70]

my old eb2 fairmont springs were the perfect fit front and back, dont know what crack you guys smoke

[flamingheads]

So you can use front or rear falcon springs from any of those models? Just cut a few cm off yes or no?

what model falcon? did you use falcon fronts for the front and falcon rears for the rear? or fronts for the front and back, visa versa?

[dioxide]

used falon fronts in fronts and falcon rears in rears

k = king springs

f = falcon

r = rear

f = front

l = low

how many coils do you chop off? do you have to be exactly right for both sides where you cut the spring?

[keiichi]

oh yeh and... do these springs fit ae86/71? are ke70 struts n stuff different altogether?

[Gilly]

KE70 and AE71 struts are different to 86. shock tube is smaller and spring perches are different.

AE71 panel van struts are rumoured to be the same as AE86
