struts for ae86

[wth03]

i am wondering what is the different between RA60 fr struts and MA61 Fr struts?

thanks

[v-tec]

Unfortuately I dont really know, ra60 fronts have vented discs and are much bigger than ae86 fronts...
I have a front set or ra60's with discs and pads for sale if your interested.
See my link in the sig

I know ma61 brakes look almost identical to jdm 86 items, but they arnt, part number is 2204 on the supra calipers, 2202 on the jdm items..

as for the brakes side they are identical, the strut however is different. The RA60 strut is made for a narrower tract and therfore has a smaller angle between the strut tube and the axle, IE: puting ra60 struts on a ma61 with 0 camber makes it have some negative camber. Hope that makes sense. Thats not to say it's compatable with an ae86 though.

ae71: if I am not mistaken the JDM ones are 230mm (tiny if you ask me) and the Xa-6X ones are 256mm, as for width I dont know.

jdm 234mm and 18mm thick vented

enough for a NA 4age worked 20v whatever

or turbro 4ac lol

that probaly true, just when I was working on my the car I'm sponcering I noticed they looked simerla and I also noted the part numbers:P

lawson- I hope they are enough, this it the expensive route I'm going...
edit* enough for a and/a 4ac? with over 80hp?? :P

I don't think their enough, I managed to get my ma61 brakes pretty hot the other day and I only have an atmo 20V, but then again I am hard on all mechanical things

well I was suprised on how well my brakes heald up at the trackday I went to resently.

I have stock ke/ae71 brakes with froddo zero pads, after 7-8 hard laps I still had the same amount of stopping power as the 2-3lap.. they where fairly hot though. I almost bunt myself on the rims when I cam into the pits.. I'm not sure why I had brakes with them being so hot, this has changed my opinion of froddo. maybe they arnt 'that' bad after all. they don't have a lot of bite, need fairly hard braking to get them working but they resist fade well for a el'cheapo pads, don't queal or cause much brake dust either.
