AE86 suspension stuff on an AE71

Post by ChadDavis »

I found a really cool site to get tons of suspension mods for an ae86, what kind of modifications would i need to make to get the ae86 suspension parts to fit the 83 corolla?

What are you trying to do? Most of the parts should switch over. But there are little knick knacks depending on what you want to do. for example: if you want to use front 86 coilovers, you'll need to retain the AE71 top hats/strut mounts and use AE86 steering knuckles(I think power steering ones). Depends on what rack you're running on that ae71, too. You're going to need to be a bit more specific on what suspension parts you want to use. Majority should bolt right up.

BTW: You wouldn't happen to have a spare 3tc manual transmission bell housing would you?
