Xt130 Struts For Ke35

[Corolla1]

There are lots of people asking about these, but it seems there is mixed answers.

 

Will XT130 Brakes fit in 13" rims??

Will XT130 Struts Bolt up at each end??

Can you still bolt up KE35 brakes and hub, if they wont fit in 13" rims??

Are the Steering Connections Different?? If so how are they different? and how can you get around this?

 

Heres a pic of my car

Cheers Jarrod.

If the XT130 are near same as RA40 then you "can" fit 13's.. but it depends on how "square" the inside of the rim is if that makes sense?

they don't bolt to standard ke30 steering arms

you need xt130 or other ones of the same bolt spacing

ae86 incl ae86 power steer arms work

Your 35 looks identical to my old one, right down to the rims. Only difference is the black bonnet :y:

 

Sorry to hijack the thread

SS - is it true the AE86 power steering arms give more lock than standard xt130 arms or does that only work on an AE86?

will give more lock and also quicker effective ratio

i think it also changes the ackermann a bit

can get them brand new through toyota

if you are interested i will price them for you

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

This is a funny question, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the conversion?

The answer is no though, the bearings are spaced much wider.

 

From memory, using ra40 steering arms upsets the ackerman principle the least.

 

I had a set of these rona struts a few years ago, from memory the only problem you might run into is the camber angle set on the struts, eg. the rona strut towers were closer together.

 

nice ride :y:

i wasn't 100% sure about the XT130 struts, but i have decided to just put in some Monroe GT Gas Struts for the moment.

 

I am running out of time before the next race, but i will strongly consider putting these in at a later stage.

 

Thanks to everyone for your help. feel free to PM me at any stage.

 

Cheers Jarrod.
