S and T series diff info

[anastasios]

hey guys, what is the rear sway bar diameter of ADM ae86?

[Ktas]

anyone have info about AE85 S-series?

[s14seriesII]

Ae85 S series in theory is exact same as our adm S series

[Ktas]

have heard rumours of them having the same size drums as t-series...either that, or do t-series drums bolt on to s-series?

[s14seriesII]

I'm pretty damn sure I've put t18 drums onto S series brakes.. So yes.. That was a round about way of asking it though ?

[Ktas]

little bit...im just pissed at myself for being lemon'd...wasnt even thinking when i got it

[Ktas]

so...ra40 t-series...just want to clarify...

it bolts in no worries, without pinion angle change?

spring seats are fine to use with ae86 springs?

does the panhard rod need to be a special length, or will a normal adjustable ae86 item do the job?

and obviously an ae86 lsd will fit into the ra40 center?

thanks for bearing the painful questions

[Still Steppin]

any answers for the above questions?

I personally haven't tried it, but my understanding of the RA40 diff into an E7 or 86 is that the trailing arm mounts are a little different in their location, but they can be squeezed in. You'll just flog out trailing arm bushes quicker.

I think the spring perches may be smaller too.

They aren't a bolt in drive away afair. Nothing is, unless it came from an AE86 to begin with.

Even E7 diffs are different in their hand brake cables, so aren't a perfect fit.

A Zenki AE86 LSD will fit an RA40 centre.

anyone know of anywhere to get the anti vibration clips that come out of a jdm t series and that go between pad and caliper?
