Ke30 & ae86 Castor arms

Postby ke_25 » Sun May 06, 2012 9:24 pm

In the process of finding some castor arms for my ke35, and am interested in the option of running adjustable ones. I know I can purchase items for an ae86, but does any one know if they will fit the ke30?

I guess the bolt pattern on the control arms (am using ke30) would be the same as people use 30 arms on AE86s', but do the castor arms have similar lengths? I.e. would these work in my car.

As far as i can find they are the same but slightly longer so will give more -ve camber and allow more lock once tie rods are mated up

You are mixing up LCA's with the castor arms, the castors arms provide fore/aft control. l have no measurements to back it up but am 99% sure they are the same length for KE30/70/AE86. Chuck an email to Techno Toy Tuning and ask them.
