Hey guys
just wondering if I can use S13 front suspension for my corolla, could I also use the camber tops?
I got a pair of camber tops from my S13, Ive sold the car already but still got the camber tops. My plans were to have S13 suspension at the front. Just wondering will the camber tops fit or do I need to get a new pair

Cut out one of the holes a little bigger becuase its like a couple mm's off....alot of people do that with no issues.

If you say corolla you could mean you have an AE71/82/86/92/101 KE10/20/30/70 etc.
Call it a sprinter or an ae86

You need to cut/shut your lower control arms to fit S13 suspension into an ae86/KE70/AE71, as the S13 ones are too wide at the top to fit into the crossmember, plus they are like 50mm longer than standard!

is cut/shut your lower control arms illegal for street?
what other ways?

Some dude reckoned ages ago on this forum that it can be done without cutting control arms...but I cant see how its possible. There isnt much more room to redrill the holes in the crossmember further back to decrease the track and resultant camber of running 50mm or so longer arms.

My conrol arms on my setup have been cut with a plate welded to the ended and a hole drilled and tapped with a rose joint and adjusting nut attached. A much better setup than having a bush, and you get a reasonable amount of arm length adjustment.

I dont imagine redrilling strut top holes and running S13 shit would be considered legal on the street either.

Who gives 2 farks about the majority of modification legalities to their car? I know living in SA...i dont!
