I want to do the the xt130 corona front strut and brake upgrade on my ke70,
Ideally i want to do the conversion with the twin pot calipers but can not find anything atm only singles,
Can any one tell me if the struts with the single pot caliper are the sames struts as the one's that come out with the twins
and ill just get these so i can order my coilover kit and just keep an eye out for the brakes.

cheers Anton.

XT130 Early struts (single piston, girlock caliper) are apparently have a different bolt spacing. I cannot confirm this however, different people say different things. Personally I didn't risk it and shipped some RT132 struts from interstate.
XT130 Late struts (twin piston, sumitomo caliper) are the same as RT132 and RT133 struts. This may help your search.

Also, XT130 brakes are poo. Bigger than KE70, but still poo.

Sign up to toymods and read this thread on the MX62 Caliper / RA60 rotor conversion to XT130 strut. RA60 rotors are the same size as XT130 but vented, MX62 calipers are bigger. I had RA60 brakes on my XT130 and they shat all over the stockies.

I had the same trouble at the start looking for twin pots and settled for single pistons. Good upgrade over stock, but only done one track day so far. I'm running Lucas pads and happy with them so far. Going from a 218mm or whatever it is disc up to a 266mm is good.
