yep, same. different steering arms tho.
thanks for info, today ive purchased some ra60 struts, brakes, steering arms. ill be sourcing some xt130 lower arms, having the brakes serviced/reconditioned and putting it all in to see if it fits fine. by the sounds it will fit ok. I will then be adding some upgraded shocks and springs to the setup. i will report back on how good/bad it fits up.
My guess will be it will all fit, but give around 2deg positive camber and slower steering.
Camber can be overcome with Sigma LCAs and RA40 tie rods. But I've never seen a fix for the longer steering arms.

hmmm
i guess option 2 is ra40 strut, ive heard the ra60 brakes will fit on?? or perhaps a st141 or xt30??
any fixs here??
RA40 strut has the right geometry and the fatter stub axle, but RA60 brakes DO NOT bolt on. The hub and disc fit, but making an adaptor for the calipers would be a bit of a pain.

gaddamn, ill have to sort somthing out ey, just picked up the calipers from the shop this mornin, left them there to be serviced the other day... another $120 later got reco calipers that i mite not even use now!!! i have a feeling the ra60 strut will be no good now unless i go for some weld on coilovers. As i now have the struts in the garage i measured the length from the base to the spring land, its about 20mm longer than the stock ae71 strut, so i take it that handling with a lowered spring in there, a super short one to get a lower ride height, would be bloody ordinary would it not?
cut the strut to the same height as the ke strut use ke inserts weld on coilover kit, i think thats how it goes. correct me if I'm wrong people
yeah, thats what I'm going to have to consider, i was trying to stay away from weld on coilovers tho
RA60 strut = gay.
Gives positive camber (Can be overcome, but why not use RA40? They have the right geometry and the fat stub axle)
Has long steering arms (Cannot be overcome without plenty of die grinder (dodgy) love or cut and shut arms)
oh well, guess ra 40 mite have to be the go, will be looking at a complete ra40 on the weekend to wreck sooo, yeah if the price is rite ill have me a t series diff and W5 box too.
shame i didnt look into it all further before buying everything hey
