Reply With Quoteisnt the ae86 "bottem strut bolts" 85mm apart? im pretty sure they are, as i was planning on using ae86 RCA in my ra60 struts which have a 90mm spacing, obviously they wouldnt fit.
MX73 struts & pick a part
ive done some searching, google - toymods etc , found some topics but nothing that answers the question. weather or not i get an answer i am heading back to pick n payless tomorrow with and ae86 RCA and knuckle.
with some verniers, tape measure and a piece of wood this is what i found.
distances measured bolt center to center
KPI - i measured this by placing a piece of (straight) timber virtically flush on the hub mounting face and measured the distance between it and the strut tube in a straight line
AE86:
bottom strut bolts - 85mm
insert - 51mm
caliper mount spacing - crap
KPI - 7.9'
ST-141
bottom strut bolts - 90mm
insert - 48mm? (was a tight fit on the verniers)
caliper mount spaceing - 100mm (cast)
KPI - 8.0'
MX73
Bottom strut bolts - 90mm
insert - 48mm? (again couuldnt get a good measurment - strut OD 50mm
caliper mount spacing - 100mm (cast type like 141)
KPI - 9.3'
NOw using custom Techno Toy steering knuckles - ( special order 90mm bolt spacing)
i can mount ST141 or MX73 struts to ae86 LCA's
Nissan caliper will bolt straight up!
S14/R32/R33 ETC

why do you want to use 86 knuckles? apparently mx cressy knuckles are really short
T18 in the build
they looked pretty long to me.. longer than 86 items anyway
MX73 cressy knuckles are way longer than Cressida.
You can do MX73 struts, with RA60 PS arms, for a very strong stubaxle with reasonable KPI.
Better again is RA60 PS arms with SA63 struts (RA60 might be the same), as they have a better KPI than at least the MA61 struts.
Thats the proper way of measuring KPI
Im using TA63 struts with PWR stering arms. Everything so far seems to be the same as RA60.
