Jonny2TG Forums Junkie Location: Tasmania Registered: May 2002	Re: KE55 brake upgrade question(s)... Sat, 11 September 2004 10:02 I have a KE55 Corolla, and had done this conversion. (I refer to it as my TE37 now if I may, 2T-G etc) When using the XT130 Corona struts, you will also need to use the steering knuckles/arms that bolt to them at the bottom. RA23 Celica knuckles are the same. You will have to cut off the spring mounts from both the Corona and Corolla struts. Weld the Corolla spring seats onto the Corona struts. Use the standard Corolla spring top and strut tops. Or, go to a coilover setup. Try and use a master cylinder of 15/16". I have a 13/16" which is just ok, 7/8" or 15/16" would be better. Make sure the brakes you buy come off a vehicle with 20m disks, for the standard hilux/peugeot/corona conversion. Get them from a 4x4 Hilux, the latter ones with vented disks. DOn't get them off a Landcruiser as they are often different. Also beware, some 4runners/Surfs have thicker disks (wider calipers), which would be good to use, but not with the 20mm peugeot disks.
