lots of info on base patterns and ball joints
http://www.arfabuck.orcon.net.nz/struts.html
to put different struts in a ke20 you're going to need different control arms and different steering arms, which will make your steering slower as there's not much out there shorter than a ke20 steering arm
why do you want bigger struts? you can change stud pattern with ke30 hubs, and shortened ke30 axles in the rear. you can put camira brakes on with minimal fuss (info on oldcorollas yahoo group), you could probably fit ae86 rotors and calipers too. custom springs aren't expensive and you can get decent dampers to suit ke20/30/55/70, you could even do a weld-over coilover kit if you wanted
just about the only thing really wrong with ke20 struts is the small stub axle, so if you thrash the shit out of it (such as in rob dixon's REDWRF rally car) you'll be lunching stub axles fairly often
