Lower Control Arm Length And Neg Camber

[Dust03]

i wanna run some neg camber on my KE55 Corolla

but as i have found i can't use camber tops as the strut tops are to close to the strut tower

and i can't bend the struts as my ma61 rims are rather close to the strut

i found a thing on lengths from other cars

what do people run and recommend?

 

Model - Length - CT Dia

RA40 - 300mm - 12mm

TA22 - 300mm - 12mm

AE86 - 300mm - 12mm

KE55 - 300mm - 12mm

KE70 - 290mm - 12mm

XT130 - 310mm - 12mm (RT132 too?)

MX73 - 304mm -12mm

MX62 - 365mm - 12mm

GE Sigma - 330mm - 12mm

S13 - 350mm - 14mm

 

also what is involved in fitting these, esp the S13 ones?

[It's_AUDM_Yo]

KE30/55 and XT130 LCA's are the same length.

How much camber do you want?

I would probably go MX73 or GE Sigma out of that list.

 

Fitting vary's for each one!

[Zoidburg]

Yeah I fitted some from a Sigma to my KE-30 2 door.

 

It has a ridiculous amount of camber! It looks fairly extreme, but it actually drives far better like that. Even feels more planted in a straight line too. If you go that way, you will need the Sigma ball joints too. I also had to grind the bushings on the LCA a little bit, but nothing drastic.

 

Unfortunately this has left me with a fair bit of toe. Does anyone know the name of the part you screw out to adjust the toe angle? I need longer one's if that's possible. Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks

Its called the Tie-rod end.

This should help both of you.

yes i found this with mine, toe is a bit excessive but its needed with the camber n handles way better

[springersrolla]

i put sigmas in mine, got the wheel alignment and i think there was around -2.2degrees, it has a noticeable stance but as K&S says it handles heaps better, wind a die nut down your castor rods and off you go. Its not overly difficult, i had to grind down the lca bushes and filed the taper on the ball joints. would definately recommend doing it to upgrade the handling

Use ke70 struts. The springs are narrower, that way you'll be able to run camber tops.

[towe001]

AE86 - 300mm - 12mm

KE55 - 300mm - 12mm

KE70 - 290mm - 12mm

I thought the '86 had the same length arms as the '7x

[ke70dave]

that is my understanding also.

[tc-rolla]

Sorry for the hijack but if you were to use xt130 lcas in a ke70, are the bushes and ball joints the same or different?

[It's_AUDM_Yo]

Yeah AE86 and *E7* are the same because the AE86dc guys also use KE30/55/XT130 upgrade.

 

tc-rolla: yeah that will fit together fine just get KE30/55 ones if you want to save money as they are the same.

Why'd you have to go and say that for :P

Now the ke3x/5x arms are going to go through the roof :lol:

[Dust03]

Does anyone know where i can get some ge sigma arms in sa ? Also after a 5k dizzy

[azzy_10]

with extra camber the what you gota do with the toe do you need longer tie rod ends ?
