ninja-philbo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 well guys I'm currently building a ca18det ke30 4 door sedan and I'm chasen a front brake upgrade without having a parts folder 10 pages long for jut my front end. bin lookin around and found afew nice front brake upgrades for ae86 sprinters just wondering if they will fit onto ke30 sedans ive bin told they will fit ke70s so why not ke30 sedans. il be doin coilovers sleaves so bigger rims isnt an issue. just need bigger brakes legaly so i want to take the easyest way possible.

anastasios Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 First, I think you should work on your grammer lol would make it alot easier to read! Secondly, I don't think that AE86 brakes would be enough to make it legal. What you could look for is AE86 coilovers then do a brake upgrade to those Quote
ninja-philbo Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Posted October 29, 2010 yes sorry about that. there an upgrade for an ae86 so i don't see why they wouldnt be a big enough upgrade. Quote
cuzzo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 there an upgrade for an ae86 so i don't see why they wouldnt be a big enough upgrade. the ajps one? It looks pretty decent. Just unsure about LCA's and bumpsteer. Also check king-pin angle which may need to be tweaked with some camber tops or longer LCA's Quote
ninja-philbo Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Posted October 29, 2010 yeah thats the one. i just don't wanna change all my strutt tubes and lcas and what not cause will make it a pain in the ass to get the parts together let alone get replacements Quote
ke70dave Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) the ajps one? It looks pretty decent. Just unsure about LCA's and bumpsteer. Also check king-pin angle which may need to be tweaked with some camber tops or longer LCA's I'm sorry what? camber tops and LCA's wont change king pin angle. and what are you refering to with the "unsure about LCA's and bumpsteer". as for the original question, ke70 stuff is an upgrade for ke30's yeah? ae86 is pretty simliar to ke70. so i reckon you could use it. I'm sure some ke30 enthusiast has either done it before, or they know more than me. hopefully they poke their head into this thread. just re-read your posts phil-keto, your gonna have to mix and match parts if you want stuff to bolt in. its not going to be exactly easy. I'm imagining, ae86 struts (to fit good shocks in), ke30 LCAs, ae86 steering arms, tie rod/rack ends to suit (are ke30 steering box?...hmm wonder how thats going to work...) and then if you want big brakes, like that ajps RX7 kit, thats an RX7 caliper, a mini cooper disc (i belive) and the alloy adaptor to make it all work. and probably custom brake lines to suit.

cuzzo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) gibberish Ha ha of course it wont change king-pin angle....i didn't think i had to spell it out.... Oh and for the ke30 enthusiast to get in the thread.....you wont have to wait too long ;) (hint: << thats not a pic i found on the net) Is it windy up there Dave?

ninja-philbo Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Posted October 29, 2010 i was just hopen cause i don't want a parts list as long as my arm. and i have long arms like a monkey haha Quote
styler Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 unfortunately generally it's all out or nothing for anything reasonable on front end, i have built up both a budget setup and an all out setup, budget won't cut much more than mild street, full out can be raced and anything in between is a compromise of performance, geometry and reliability... remember the front end can be comparable to the motor in a build - suspension, brakes, geometry, steering are major factors in performance, and all the parts do add up to a small fortune!

towe001 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) SEARCH damn it Edit - not having a dig at you Dave or anything. Just a shot across the bow on this thread. just re-read your posts phil-keto, your gonna have to mix and match parts if you want stuff to bolt in. its not going to be exactly easy. I'm imagining, ae86 struts (to fit good shocks in), ke30 LCAs, ae86 steering arms, tie rod/rack ends to suit (are ke30 steering box?...hmm wonder how thats going to work...) Bolt in. All you'll need is the steering arms from the ae86 and the bearing plate from the ke30. I'm not sure about the ae86 springs - if their wider or seating in a different place on the strut tubes. Unless your planning on longer control arms the tie rods and their tubes will be ke3x/5x Ball joints are the same across the board. i was just hopen cause i don't want a parts list as long as my arm. and i have long arms like a monkey haha Another choice would be Corona struts especially since your wanting bigger brake. The springs will have to swapped over to the ke3x/5x but since your planning on coil-overs that wouldn't be a problem. Wheel bearings are the same across the board on the corolla - ke20 thought to the ae86. But the corona uses different ones. I guess the "mix-and-match" of the parts will be the brakes. Four spot hi-lux calipers on the corona struts.... Edited October 29, 2010 by towe001 Quote
ninja-philbo Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Posted October 30, 2010 ok this seems like a plan will do abit more searching. yes il be doin coilover sleaves so springs arnt an issue. so what ur saying is ae86 strut and hub and stearing arms and the rest ke30 with the brake upgrade and coilover kits and I'm golden Quote
towe001 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Posted October 30, 2010 so what ur saying is ae86 strut and hub and stearing arms and the rest ke30 with the brake upgrade and coilover kits and I'm golden :yes: Quote
SLW42 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 hopper stoppers brake kits for corolla :D Quote
ninja-philbo Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Posted November 1, 2010 what are these hopper stopper brake kits u speek of Quote
