Finally got around to working on my old KE70 after 3-4yr of not touching it.
I'm working of front steering and what parts will I need to it all work.
I already have:
AE86 steering rack
AE86 castor arms
AJPS bolt on + slip on rack spacers
AJPS 40mm rcas
JDI AE86 knuckles
RT132 front LCAs with lock stops cut off
RT132 struts

What Rack ends and tie rod ends do I need up use this setup?
i heard RA60 tie rod ends but not sure what tie rod ends.

what other parts is anyone using for more lock?

You wont need any more lock than that. That is a shitload. You dont even need that much. Just the JDI arms and lock spacer is heaps.

Just be mindful of the size and offset of your front rims, with that much lock you might come into scrubbing issues. I have 15x8 -0 and scrub heaps on the chassis, it's the worst when I loop it on lock, takes chunks out the tyres sometimes.

I use standard tie rods and rack ends with similar set up

As said before youre going to need an aggressive offset so it clears the chassis and probably bash parts of the body out where tubs should be. if youre wheels arent aggressive enough offset youre going to need lengthened LCA's to increase the track abit where ra40 or ra60 even rt142 tie rods will be used with an rt142 tierod tube.
