ST141 stub axles are bigger than the AE86 stub axles, so you can't swap the ST141 hubs/brakes onto your struts. You probably can swap the whole strut, but if you're going to all that effort you might as well swap in RA60 struts which have much better brakes.

Yes the ST141 stub axles are the same as the RA60.

if your talking about the hilux/pug upgrade, in regards to needing to change lower control arms i can assure you you DO NOT need to change lower control arms as i indicated in my article. the reason being some people use washers to space the caliper in its correct position whereas i machined the 'hat' of the disc to get it in its correct position. this is the better way and is perfectly safe as the hat of the disc is very thick.

I thought that the angle at which the axel comes of the strut on a RA-60 strut was incompatible, and makes the car handle like crap even if you correct the camber?
I am using coil-overs based on a RA-28 strut myself.

I have a AE86, AE85 and KE70 with RA60 struts and it handles fine. I have 2-3deg neg camber.
All up probably had 5 cars with RA60 struts and all were good
