ke55 front brake + rear diff conversion Wed, 26 May 2004 00:56 Go to previous message
i was jsut wondering i wana convert my front brakes on my ke55, ive done a search and cant find anything that can relate to my specific questions so heres wat im after.

i was thinking about trying to fit RA65 front struts. the rotors are a goodsize with ga good sized caliper. i dont know much about these brakes tho but id imagine theyd be good enough to stop the rolla.

jsut wondeirng how far off track i am? i dont want to have to modify the strut height so if there not the same then obviously i cant use them. if anyone can suggect a different strut that i would be able to use then it would be appriciated. also would i need to modify the lower control arm or could i use the one already in mine?
would i need a bigger brake booster? would a sprinter brake booster be good enough?
as a bare minimum i would like ventilated front discs but not sure wat size, theyd have to be able to fit inside 14inch mags tho.

ok onto the diff, i wana put a t series diff into the car, i read that the ra40 is a t series. would the ra40 diff need any modification to be fitted into the car? does anyone know the width of the diff (drum to drum) so i can measure it up againsnt mine. also is it possible to either a) convert my rears to coil springs b) run a diff that was on coils with leaf springs (modifications required????)

are there any t series drum to drum that would go into the ke55 and wat car do they come out of?

i really want to upgrade the front brakes cause my discs are fucked atm and i dont wana pay for machining and new pads itd be a waste of money if im upgrading anyway

so ur help is appreciated

thanks

dom
