Ke20 Suspension

[toyrta]

hay all, spent some time searching the forums but can't find what I'm looking for.

looked on the websites etc etc and only listings i have found from KING and Pedders is "lows" which from my experiance lower the car about 1mm :blinks:

I'm all sorted in the rear found what I'm looking for there but not having much luck in the front ? I'm leaning towards the angle grinder with some extra rubbers packed in there to keep it captive but would much prefer to do it the "proper " way

cheers guys

pedders low springs are normally 30-35mm lower

I'm considering the coilover sleeve kit option for my 20, I have seen a few guys in Escorts and early Corollas using them.

They seem to be a good option for a car like a KE20 where there is not much aftermarket gear available.

I'm thinking of doing a group buy on the OTomoto kits, I've already spoken to them about prices.

Otomoto do some really great suspension pieces.

 

I've heard rumour of R31 skyline struts fitting into KE20s fairly easily... If anyone knows any more about that, it might open up the options a bit further...

[philbey]

Yeh give me a bit to sort it out. I've been trying to gauge the interest in it, now it seems that there's plenty of people out there to warrant doing it.

[toyrta]

I'm also quite interested to know more about this. If anyone finds out anything specific please let me know.

I will also watch your conversion closely, could be a viable option.

The R31 struts have the same steering arm bolt spacing as the KE20.

More info about these struts HERE

 

Although it should probably be taken into account that Ke20 struts have a king pin angle of 8.5deg, R31 are 10.0deg

This would mean you will add about 1.5deg positive camber.

This can be fixed by adding some adjustable camber tops also available through otomoto, which i'd also be interested in a group buy with the coilovers.
