I think the big difference is between the MA61 struts and the Celica X6 struts.
Nice link TAkai, im gonna get me one of the from bunnings!
because pick a part didnt have all the "ideal toyota" for me to look at.
what other struts have a similar KPI to 86, use 86 steering knuckles and have a caliper mount casted the same as mx73 or st141? (100mm spacing)
if you want big brakes go for the mx73 gear. use the ra60 power steering arms as the cressy ones are long as.
r33 front calipers bolt up
and then u can use 296x16mm(i think) disks with some machining.
have a look on the cressida forums for more info.
ohh yeahhh my problem has been solved and guys u might want in on this!!
just got off the email to GIA/GABe at TechnoToy,
They are doing a custom Run of their steering knuckles to fit 86 ball joints with a 90mm strut mount spacing!!
that means u can now run MX73 RA60 etc struts and still have 86 LCA/XT130 etc LCA's
Score, anyone else want some while their at it? this is a custom run, and i need answers by tomorrow, prices are same as old knuckles on their web site
$120USD + shipping IF your in NSW check out the group buy in the SYD section if u want in!
I thought you could always run ae86/xt130 LCA's with the RA60 steering knuckle. I originally was running standard ae71 LCA's with TA63 (RA60) struts and pwr steering knuckles. Bolted up fine no fitment problems. But had some wack positive camber, so i ended up using GH sigma arms, the taper is a bit different on the ball joint, but it works. But in a perfect world you would want to either machine down the ball joint, or drill out the hole in the steering knuckle.
" I swear its stock officer. Just don't get me to park next to another Ke70 "
yeah that works, but the ae86 and XT130 struts dont have the cast calliper mount, which is what im after, suitable struts with the cast caliper mount and 100mm bolt spacing on the caliper mount are - Mx73 and ST 141
ive just been to bunnings to get me an inclometer ($15) and down to pick n pay less to do some more measuring.
The pick of the bunch is the ST141 strut.
KPI is 8.0'
calliper mount spacing - 100mm
lower strut mount spacing - 90mm
insert - 48mm
PCD - 4 x 114.3
MX73
KPI - 9.3'
caliper mount spacing - 100mm
lower strut mount spacing - 90mm
insert - 48mm
PCD - 4 x 114.3
Ae86
KPI - 7.9'
caliper mount - No good (for what im after)
Lower strut mount spacing - 85mm
insert - 41mm???
PCD - 4 x 114.3
Now using St141 or MX73 struts, Techno toy steering knuckles (custom) 90mm mount spacing - i can now bolt R32/33 calipers straight up to the ST141 strut and use ae86 LCA's.
