Made some phone calls during the week but couldn't get an answer to this question (will ring BC direct if nobody here knows the answer).

Ordered a set of AE86 coilovers for the front (have already converted it to AE86 gear). Got soft shocks / springs in the rear so they won't really match the front and I would prefer to use BC's all around. Question is, the AE86 rear setup they sell has the 2 bolt mounts at the top, whereas the KE70 has the single bolt shock. None of BC's suppliers can tell me if the KE70 rears have the single bolt or 2.

I.e http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BC-Racing-BR-Coilovers-Coilover-suit-Toyota-KE70-and-AE71-Aus-Spec-/111692393446?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item1a0162abe6

Has 2 bolts at the top, no good (plus the shock & spring is all together which isn't what I want).

Then you have this - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BC-Racing-Coilovers-Coilover-to-suit-TOYOTA-SPRINTER-AE86-/151708927906?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item23528e87a2

which looks correct, but could just be a generic photo....

So after all this, has anybody here used BC's rear coilovers on a KE with the single bolt for the shock? Rang 3 different suppliers and none of them could tell me....I need the shock and spring seperate, exactly like the last link I put up. Thankyou in advance :)

Edit: BC's photo on their website is also wrong - http://www.bc-racing.com.au/bc-racing-coilover-suspension-kit-toyota-ke70-ae71-corolla.html

(unless they expect people to cut out the tower and weld in one with the 2 or 3 mounts).

The AE86 BC coilovers have a separate spring and shock combo for the rear that attach like the factory shock. I'd say its a generic photo used, as far as I know there is just the two types for the front (new spindle or cut and use your existing). If you already have the rest AE86 suspension gear you'd need the AE86 set.

Yeah what he said, they are spring and shock combo.
