Argh RA60/AE86 Strut/RCA Question. Wed, 25 August 2004 03:10 Go to next message
My AE86 has the RA60 front discs/strut conversion. I was under the impression that the struts were the only thing changed in this conversion? IE. Ra60 struts were the same size bolting wise... I ordered RCA's to suit an AE86 and they dont fit Nope

So either they sent me the wrong ones.. lol. Or more likely Ive just learnt the hardway that the lower steering bolt-up parts are also modded in this conversion

So which is it? Crying or Very Sad

It's a common misconception that AE86 RCAs fit xA6x celica/supra struts. They don't. I can't remmeber exactly what it is - I think on of the bolt holes is offset or somethign like that.

Check out the forums on celicasupra.com - they have had a couple of group buys on RCA blocks so far. Not sure if there is one on at the moment though.

That's where I got my 30mm RCAs from ages ago - still waiting to go in. I should have bought a few sets to sell on but there wasn't much interest back then Confused

yep strut/disc/calip/arm

ae86 tops and springs (its a bad fit) but it was only meant to be temp until i source proper ae86 front disc struts.
