As a base to start from, I am going to show what standard suspension specs where and the differences over the different models.
Abbreviations:
ARL = Australian Specification
WG = wagon
anti-roll bar = stabilizer bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar
Front anti-roll bar:
The AE86 including ARL, Europe, GTV and Apex had a 21mm diameter front bar. Some AE85s had a 20mm one.
20mm AE85
21mm AE86
Rear anti-roll bar:
The following vehicles listed have the same rear anti-roll bar as the AE86 and can be fitted as long as you have the matching D bushes.
13mm ARL, Euro GT, KE70, TE72, RT142, RT132, XT130
14mm SR, GT, Apex, ST141, RT142, SA60, ST140
15mm GTV, RT142 WG, RA60, TA64
17mm AL25 Tercel also fits I think.
17mm AE95 Corolla, may fit...
14mm late KE55, should fit...
Note: The above is what I found mostly from the Toyota EPC. But in reality I found some Australian AE86s have 13mm, and some 14mm rear bar.
Front springs:
about 2.5 kg/mm
Rear springs:
Front shocks:
body length, 397-400mm
Rear shocks:
Steering arms:
PowerSteering and GTV ~ 113mm
Lower control arms:
AE86, all ~295mm
KE30, XT130 ~300mm
