ASH-035

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies, as for the need for big brakes, my 1200 ute was CA18DET powered with a best of 12.2 1/4mile backing off as it use to get really loose at the end of the track, it had a VS commodore front caliper on custom machined discs with a coilover setup up front and the R31 disc rear end. i am planning on using the car for drag racing purposes as was my ute, the car will be quicker so the need for bigger brakes is required. at the moment anything is better then my idea as it wont be cheap to do, but in the end i want it to stop as well if not better then my ute did.

Hi there everyone, Id like to start by saying i am a complete amateur in the world of corolla`s as ive have been a datsun from my red P`s until now. i have recently bought an awsome condition KE35 coupe with BIG plans which i had for my 1200 ute which unfrotuntaly got rear ended by a light truck. Ive been doing alot of reading on this forum about front strut upgrades. My plan is to go coil over front with a VT commodore disc/caliper/stud pattern. My question is would i be better off having a coilover custom made to suit this brake upgrade or can i go with the corona/celica strut and convert it to a coilover. there is a zoom magazine with a SR20 powered KE35 coupe with a modified VN strut with VS caliper setup in it so it looks like there is a fair amount i can play with. Any information you guys can give me will be very helpful Cheers, Ash
