    the struts dont go in without a lot of fabrication, including the use of the superstrut subframe and the addition of mounts to the AE9x chassis etc. The AE101 superstrut setup doesn't even bolt into an ADM AE101.

    If you're talking about brakes then it's a totally different story. Get yourself a set of 258-260m diameter discs, 25mm wide with the 54mm center hole and 4x100 pattern, clearance the caliper slightly and bolt it all up.

    Forgive me, but what is "super" about these "super struts"?

    As people have said, better off just snaffling the larger twinpot calipers off the SS' - The rest, unless you're REALLY keen, is a major pain to install.

    Bananaman: They were an option on the later FWD corolla's that added (was it bilstein?) stiffer shocks and springs (ie. sports package) and more importantly, larger twinpot calipers and discs.

    They also used a different lower mounting system. They are nicer to drive compared to the 'regular' 101, but the constant wearing out and noisy joints isn't the best.
