19914afc Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 So not much help so far, for the front all AE86 stuff will bolt in, corona lower control arms give you more camber as well. you can get some kind of extra lock rack ends and tie rod ends off ebay, look pretty good don't know anyone who has used them though but will probably be buying some for myself soon. For the rear diff you can get one from a T18 or a JDM AE86 with disc brakes and an LSD, but expect to pay around 1k for a complete diff. Just search man and you will find all your answers pretty quickly. Quote
Willis Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Sorry rollme. AJPS make tie rod ends, find a diff at a wrecking yard or in the car parts for sale here on Rollaclub. AE86 struts are an upgrade and depending on what you want to do with your car(I'm guessing drift) XT130 corona lower control arms will work. The struts from XT130's will fit aswell. Just search for your info and maybe parts here on Rollaclub or Google. Quote
Thirteen13 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 How is it the stack is so bad that the diff and struts need replacing did u get rammed in the back end big time? If so I doubt its worth fixing, scrap and restart Quote
Sloth Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 How is it the stack is so bad that the diff and struts need replacing did u get rammed in the back end big time? If so I doubt its worth fixing, scrap and restart I'm curious about what sort of stack can damage all the suspension gear but not destroy the shell... My guess is he jumped it, got over a meter of air and came down hard! Quote

rollme91 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Posted October 5, 2011 nah hit a curb at about 50kmph sideways and got the left side in the air haha. rear axles and lower control arm are bent so thought may aswell upgrade it all while I'm there Quote
rian Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Are you sure that's all that's bent? 50km/h to 0km/h in like zero time would have put a huge force on parts of your car. I once hit a gutter sideways at about 10km/h and bent heaps of stuff, hitting one at 50 would be wild. Quote
