jsut wondering how hard it would be to put ra40 struts into a ke55 rolla, my local wrecker has some for 35bucks each that are in good nick and was keen on upgrading my shonky standard discs, what will i need? i know id need a different control arm but which one would be best? also does anyone know what height the ra40 struts are and if they'll need to be modified? the wrecker said theyre pretty much the same as XT130 corona ones but im not too sure?
b4 someone pulls out an awsome "SEARCH" flaming pic i did one and couldnt find anything.
thanks

I have a set of Ra40 celica front struts that were on my old KE30. you will need to use KE30/55 springs (unless u get custom ones made) and use the KE30/55 Strut tops. Sat fine in mine. and u will have to get the spring tabs rewelded so the spring doesnt fall out.
