Re: RA28 and Corona struts (bigger brakes) - queries and questions!! Thu, 30 January 2003 01:36 Go to previous messageGo to previous message
i seee..... well looking at my simmons, and adding 20mm outwards to where they sit now - they stick out from the guards a FAIR bit. These wheels came with the car when i bought it, and were obviously picked for the standard celica setup.

Now i just went down to Pick and Payless wreckers today, and have looked at multiple different setups from old toyotas. i have looked at the following strut/brake setups:
RA23 - stock
XT130 - 10.5" solid rotor, single piston
RT132 - same rotor as xt130, but twin opposed piston caliper
RA60 - single piston vented disc, ~ 240x25mm
GA61 - similar to ra60, caliper looks different (poss larger piston)
MX63 - similar to RA60, just looks in better condition

Now i liked the MX63 and GA61, cos they looked similar to the RA60, which im told is a straight fit! And the offset of these setups appears to be around 15-20mm smaller than the corona setups.
The MX63 looked to be only recently aquired, and the strut looked clean and some bits were new. So my question now lies as this: can i use the any of the MX63, GA61 or RA60 strut and brake setups? WIll these change the offset of the front by more than 10mm?

im going to go back down to the wreckers later this arvo after it gets BELOW 40 degrees.... so ill let u know what i find out! Will be taking pics too!
