Do the S13 front coilover conversion, prob work out cheaper than front coilovers for a 86 that will fit a 70.

Better results for around the same cost for S13 stuff, bits of work has to be done. Gilly has done a whole 'how to' on this as well so even an idiot could get it done.
Just wanna point out tho if you want coilovers for the ke70 it wont be ke70 struts it will be ae86 struts as the base of the coilover.
Just said that to avoid any later conversion

Pm Mick_NOFX.

He just bought some Ae86 coilovers that he's not going to use anymore, they will bolt straigh in.


Also i would suggest you get some different lower control arms.. adjustable rose-jointed ones if you can afford them, or GH Sigma if you want 3.75 Degress of Cheap ass camber. and possibly some 86 powersteering arms and ra40 tierod ends for that extra lock!!!

sigma arms make the camber just overkill, but it looks so tuff

try not to do mods because they look "cool" make sure they have some practicality to them.

go with a XT130 corona LCA should get you 2.5* neg

not 5* like sigma's get.....

yea agreed, your car will turn and brake like poo with that much camber. if you must at least get adjustable camber tops to keep it sensable on the street.

what u mean, it'll handle like poo - theres a reason why beau yates won the drifting last year - and its got at least a little bit to do with the way his car's setup... funny that he uses sigma control arms then...

well i your car wont brake half as well in a straight line with -5 deg camber. and beau uses good tyres on the front of his car too, camber is pretty useless without decent tyres. on the street in daily driving conditions alot of camber is not as good as people think, beaus car is a dedicated track car. i guess it all depends on your driving style.
