ae95 strut braces

[big_fella6699]

hey does anybody know of any strut brces that would fit an ae95 4x4 corolla? thanx

[cuzman]

Yepo.. any ae92 brace will fit .........

undo the plastic that covers the wipers for access
drill the correct size hole in the fire wall..ther sould be an obvious place marked by the factory...
Mount brace(staight forward) (dont move the strut tops) and get some bots from the hard ware shop..high tensile..and bolt em up...i used a backing plate for good luck..
As i had a front cut i cut out the panel from the fire wall on the f/c and used it as the tread point...behind my fire wall(dont cut your fire wall!!)Used the std factory bolts aswell.
Basicly i made a sandwich of a shi* hot std..The bolts cant move as the fire walll holes are the same diamiter......
They have never moved or groned under presser(i did check them)
With a 4wd and std suspension and a brace i got the front right wheel off the ground going max around a right hander...under power..My vehile has a larger factory sway bar than most as its 4wd!

In a 2wd app this would suck as you will losse traction from the drive wheels...........

In all the brace rocks good luck and it helps heaps under load ..u know what i mean....lol

thanx man, i jus need somethin 2 help stop my body roll n to stiffen things up a bit.

Suspension is a prick for our model
Different struts and rears to a normal rolla...! fact
It can be changed bact to normal if ya whant but im not sure how(parts wise that is)

A stut brace wont stop body roll.............................................. .....................

your springs and shocks need to be in good nick!

I do not promote the following in any way shape or form!,,?

If ya cut the springs front and rear ..it'll handel great on the flat stuff
Looks cool!!

P.S it'll bump like mad, fuc* ya stuts and damage ya rubber inserts..
if you get it of the ground the springs will dislodge..only slightly (damage)

dont bother just incase you were thinking of it! lol

I have a pedders set up..its good but im not hapy jan!

[big_fella6699]

lol cheers,
i have pedders touring shocks n standard springs but it has a sh*tload of body roll n it annoys the hell outa me (mainly cause i take it out in the paddock a bit n im worried it witt roll lol)... drifts well tho lol

[cuzman]

Heres some more info for ya....

appartly our stuts are larger!!...for what ever reason..its not a real 4wd....i'd look in to going back to std ae92, sx or, gt set up for parts avalibility!
I cant see why it wont fit as the stut tops are the same and so it the hub asemble bolts..
eg two bolts.....
i have a camber caster kit on mine ..from pedders $bout 80.00 buck and it works a treat
It allows me to have a 1.1 camber angle(top of wheel in more like a race car)
Its only a bit but helps under extreme cornering......
My car is a weekender and does see track work hence the effort..for a road car and tyre wear issues stick std bolts and tell the wheel alighment place to crank them in a bit over stock settings as this will help heaps with turn in!

The back is locked as its a live diff .......
Make sure your bushes are good nick as this is the biggest prob with older cars handling like crap......Repco or bursons can help at a good price.
STick with rubber mounts on a budget(ther cheap and easyer on ya ass and car) or polys for a really tight ride..but at ridiculas prices....I have rubber bushes but new.!
I will go polys soon but only because i like a tight box lol it might help my lap times but i dout it! (they last for a long time hence the price)

Go the sports shocks and springs

Ther good very good but dont ask them to lower it as they have know ideal

[cuzman]

Do you have a frt sway bar rear sway bar?

[big_fella6699]

thanks 4 the advice, ummm i kno a bit bout engines but not so much bout suspension, but the swaybars are under the car right? i think i have 1 behind the rear diff but i dunno bout the front. lol sorry if im unclear with what im saying.

[cuzman]

Its a bar that goes from the body to some part os your suspension..
eg near the wheel
