Ke70 Suspension

[Bryce89]

Hi All, new around here name is Bryce looking at buying a KE70

 

I used the Search function but could not find a definate answer, so please don't flame

 

Looking at going the coilover route when i receive my KE70,

 

FRONT -

To the best of my understanding you can use AE86 Coilovers with Sigma LCA's for more camber and that will all bolt in no problem?

also use AE86 brakes and hubs too maybe? and retain 4x114.3 PCD?

 

REAR -

This is whats got me stumped, Some say AE86 Coilovers will work, some don't

 

So can i use AE86 Coilovers on there rear and they just bolt in?

or short stroke sierra shocks with Springs? but what springs? ive heard falcon thrown around alot

 

Also another thing that i haven't been able to figure out, the KE70 uses a solid rear axle? so therefor no rear camber?

 

Thanks in advance

I asked the same thing about a month ago. Was pretty quiet topic.

 

Ill tell you what i know: If you have ae86 coilovers for the front sick they will be sweet . (sigma controll arms don't bolt straight in they don't fit the crossmember, and you need longer tie rods for them to work.) Just buy some camber tops to suit your coilovers. if you want more camber than get carona LCA'S from spja.

The 86 brakes and shit all works sweet.

 

For the rear mate just get some KYB Excel g shockies from a commadore part number:VB-VN Holden Station wagon

Ext: 490 Comp: Approx 290-300mm KYB Number: 343113. Then run some mildly stiff springs probly 5kg/mm on the rear.

Avoid cutting springs if you can.

 

Front and rear swaybars make a big difference.

don't forget you need the ae86 steering arms up front to make struts fit, and yes use all the ae86 brakes etc and it will stay 4x114.3
