im using ra60 brakes on my 2tgeu turbo ke20. they are not a bolt in job. the bottom of the strut does not match up to ke20 steering arm. I tried ra60 steering arms and they are too big. So u will have to make a adapter plate to mate the two together. or u could put a bush in the ra60 steering arm so it fits tightly around the ke20 ball joint stud. Then your only problem will be that your steering will be out coz the ra60 steering arms are longer.



Looks like everyone with KE20/25's is doing different things.

My setup is:

KE25 struts, KE55 hubs, peugeot vented discs, ST162 SX Celica calipers. My KE25 struts have height adjustable coil-overs using Eibach springs and Bilstein shock absorbers. I am contemplating a revised brake setup but I just need to run the tape measure and calipers over a few more things Wink

I would consider the setup I have used to be pretty easy to do, the caliper bracket is from an RA28, simply redrill the mounting holes to suit the KE25 strut and bolt it on. I then simply drilled some new holes to bolt on the calipers. The whole setup looks factory as nothing has been made from scratch. This setup has held up on track days and lots of spirited driving (no brake fade at all). It has no probs pulling up from over 200kph either. A fairly cheap and reliable setup I reckon.
