so what mods have you done to the front suspension?
i dare say the KE15 struts and stub axles are not the best place the start.

on KE20 hub, camira vented disc, KE870 disc (both fit under 13" rims)
on KE20 steering arms, perhaps RX7 struts....

you are kind of in 'little charted' territory. most ppl seem to ditch the whole transverse leaf/A-lower arms for somethjing a bit better, and choose brakes based on the new struts (or vice-versa)

Cya, Stewart

yes rob dixon's REDWRF ke25 rally car runs heavily reinforced stock struts (due to regulations) converted to coilovers, and he's lunched several sets of stub axles in the last 12-18 months

if you google "arfabuck" you will find mark from new zealand's webpage, and he has on there a big table with all sorts of different struts in toyotas. there are also guides on toymods tech section and jonny rochester's webpage about brake upgrades for later model corollas by changing the whole strut, which you may or may not find helpful

I assume you are building either a sports sedan to race cams events or a car just for sprint days???

All depends on a lot of things, particularly your budget.

Some classes have specific rules/formula's on what you can do.

What will you use it for exactly??

heya

in my Mazda 1300 I use RX-2 struts that have been coverted to height adjustable/coilovers using whiteline (I think) springs and the adjustable weld on collars.

I have been told that even these struts can flex under heavy braking and they are pretty solid.

To these struts I have Tarago vented discs and Camira calipers with stock drums on the back.

Its a good package, and with QFM pads I havent experienced any fade in multiple 180+ K stops. Its unboosted too.

hope that helps
