MY KE70'S · by **pervert** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 11:21 am

Firstly, are AE85 front brakes much bigger than KE70 ones?

Secondly, is it a bolt on swap, or do you need more than just the discs/calipers...???

by **Jebus** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 11:33 am

Theyre both around 9" solid, not worth doing

Thanks...

by **CozmoNz** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 11:43 pm

have a look @ the coronas brakes pervert....

by **Jebus** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 11:55 pm

If you want to do an upgrade, probaly not necessary tho? Use celica struts and brakes, of the R/TA63 variety, skip cressida and corona etc or youll be likely to run into the issues ive had

I'm not doing shit that isn't direct bolt in right now... :lol:

Thanks anyway.

I no longer trust the words 'Direct bolt in' or 'Drops straight in' Nothing $&#$% is. If it goes i wouldnt bother touching it :lol:

Yup, that's the plan, faaaar easier... :lol:

Any good brands to try and get a hold of...

Jebus> I know what you mean! I changed my black plastic door handles to chrome ones last night, and even something that basic wasn't just a straight swap!!! All the clips and shit were different!!! :roll:

AE85 brakes are bigger than ke70 sedan brakes, but the same size as TE71 and KE70 wagon brakes

celica TA61/TA63 struts with 10 inch vented discs is a straight swap

as long as you use the steering arms off the celica, and use your original top hat and springs

its really piss easy

Get some Mintex pads from 0800 Brakes, around $200 ish.

Thanks, I take it for $200 these things are going to stop me in a $&#$% hurry (even with the standard discs/calipers), and not fade overly easy???

I have quite a problem with bad fade... :lol:

by **wde_bdy** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 11:40 am

Dunno, will tell you when my car is going lol

I bought a set for my 18R-GE KE70 ute, but haven't got it up to cert status yet. A friend used them with standard discs on a 4AGE 20V powered KP Starlet, has been around Pukekohe a few times with no problems. If you still have problems with fade after fitting them look at ducting your brakes.

Hi, I have some MX73 Cressida( same 10inch vented disks are they not?) front struts that i am wanting to put into my ke70.Are you saying all i will need to do is find some TA61/TA63 Carina/Celica steering arms and my original springs and top hats?

Details of car here · by **AE85coupe** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 12:03 pm

umm just use the MX73 steering arms

an yeah it should work (can't gurantee as i don't know if MX73 struts are exactly like TA63 etc.)

by **Jebus** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 7:35 pm

No that wont work, celica steering arms give positive camber, then youll need camber plates, then youll need coil overs. Its not as easy a swap as it seems

good pads, but a bit extreme for a standard-ish road car.

can't remember what flavour i fitted (Bendix metal king???), but they were $60 for the fronts. pulls the car up good, don't seem to fade and work good (ish!) when cold. done three seasons of club champs plus 3 full days of rallying and still going strong.

by **wde_bdy** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:14 pm

Running the 1155 compound mintex pads for my KE70 ute, its an endurance racing type pad so should suit a bit of towing and the heavy 18RG sitting up front. Remember Pervert is running some large wheels, make a hug difference to braking with all the extra weight on the outer circumference. Probably why he is having such a fading problem.
