RA60 or RA40 struts into a TA22 Celica? Increasing track?

[-NiCkeL-]

Hey guys,

Can anyone out there tell me if they have had any luck in fitting RA60 or RA40 struts into their TA22 Celica?

At the moment, i'm trying to increase the track at the front by about 30mm. Any ideas on the best way to do it?

Measuring down at the wreckers, the RA60 struts have an increased track of about 16mm on the TA22 setup, so I was thinking I could try and adapt them to fit.

Someone help me out!

RA60 struts will give you + camber...so the track increase is probly due to the person installing longer control arms


XT130 struts will increase the track of a RA40 by about 10mm overall

What do you want the Camber to do?

If after more -camber go with Sigma LCA conversion.

...at this stage i'm just trying to get the wheels further away from the strut. Any ideas how I could go about this?

Spacers .

Does anyone know where I can get some 30mm bolt on spacers to suit a TA22?

Try most trye/rin or drift type shops. 4 stud silvias have same stud pattern.

Springvale road, just after Princess Highway I think? This sprinter AE86 drifter place. He can get ya 50mm spacers if you want. Techie on the move.

I have MA61 hubs on my RA23 struts. The result is significantly increased track - I haven't measured it but it's probably pretty close to 30mm. Using RA60 struts should get you the same effect, but as mentioned above you'll need to correct the positive camber this will introduce. Either bending the strut tubes or using adjustable camber tops should do the trick.

Interesting! Thanks for the help guys.

Do you know where Promax Auto is, or do you know where I can get a number for them?

spacers are bad mkay?

id seriously suggest the hubs as above or control arm/strut change.
Do it once and do it right (and legally)
