My "norwegian" Ke20, Need Help With Lowering \ Stance.

[Ovegaa]

Hello ..

 

I tried to post in a Norwegian Toyota forum, but not so many peoples there that had the information i was lookin for :P

 

Bought myself a KE20, 75 mod, 2 door with 90000km on it. its in pretty good shape, just some rust on the channels, and floor ...buts thats fixable ..

 

So, to the plan ...

 

lowering and wider wheels n tires, has done a little researtch on forums and so on....but when there is a picture of a car that "sits" well, no one seems to know the width and offsets :P

 

About the lowering part, i have talked to a firm in NZ that offers, lower front struts, 45mm lowering springs, lowering blocks for the rears, and new rear dampers .... is there any other

alternatives without starting to change the hubs, and doing major rebuilding ...because of the low partmarked here, a just wanna what i have ..

 

Guess I'm gonna buy adapters from 4x110 to 4x114.3 or 4x100 .. and I'm also lookin to put on some TE27 flares ..

 

Saw somebody said that 7 wide and 0 offsets was flush with the guards .. but i have also seen folks running 9x13 and offsets -6 and 14x7 -22 up front with and extra 20mm spacer, 14x8 -38 in the rear..

 

Lookin to run 15 inch wheels btw ..

 

So, what width and offset should i go with ? gonna add a picture below ...thats the kinda "stance" I'm lookin for ..

Expect to cut the bump stops off at the rear and have tubular ones fitted to the rear shocks.

 

Keeping any sort of ride quality is the difficult part of getting that low. The yellow one looks good!

lowered springs for the front and blocks for the rear is the easiest way. consider moulding the flares on, i did and it looks great. my KE35 is running 14 inch wheels 7inch wide 185/55/14 tyres

You won't be able to get the "Stance" you want with 15" wheels, They're too big to go that low

 

Switch your idea to 13's or 14's and it'll be much easier

 

I'm not sure exactly on size/ offset you'll need but don't forget to factor in spacer/ adaptor width into the offset you choose

 

I'd start at 8" wide and 0 offset or close to it as a test fit if you can and go from there, I reckon that'd be pretty much flush with the flares with the adaptors.

 

Te27's need unmoulded flares, that wouldn't suit the vintage of the car imo, but your car! Goodluck with it

Thanks for the replys guys :)

 

altezzaclub: thanks for the tip. Yes, i know I'm pretty much gonna say goodbye to the comfort, but its just a sunday car, so thats not so important :)

 

 

CREEDY: mm, i guess its the easiest way to go with the loweringsprings and loweringblocks. you`re car looks really good with the flares moulded on ...but i have always wanted to just bolt some flares on, so think I'm gonna go with that :)

 

 

Jono.C: I have looked at some 14´s also ...so will see what I'm gonna run with ..gonna test some wheels before i do the order i guess ... yes, guess I'm can fit a 9 inch in the rear, and maybe a 8 inch in the front :) have looked at the rota shakotan ..

 

Have got some prices from a firm in NZ, are these prices the best i can get, or are there any other firms i should email and ask for a price ? :)

 

shorter shocks front

lowering springs 45mm

lowering blocks with u bolts

new shocks rear

shipping

 

a total of 1000 ish dollars incl shipping !
