[Guide] Corona/Peugot/Hilux Conversion with Height Adjustable Coilovers [56k DIAF]

[takai]

hi takai can you get any part numbers on those shocks. and were to get them from in S.A. the KYB sounds the go. im really pushing to get my car ready for next years ip season but we should be ok if boostworx do some work on it over christmas

Which ones?
The HTS102s are discontinued, but that is the part number.
And for the KYB AGX then use SW20 turbo REAR shocks for the front, and possibly Camaro or HQ rears. Someone else needs to pipe up with those details dont take my word for it.
CarTorque in Kent Town are the KYB people.

hey fellas,
ive installed the c/p/h in the ta22 using:

I spoke to YOGI8U and he recomended a trecel one, which i might check out.

Can you put up a photo of the Camry master cylinder? Ill add it to the original post

here is the toyota camry 2003-06 brake master cylinder, when braking it starts to grab closer to the end of the brake pedal travel.

Looks good... huge reservoir.
Nice braided lines too!

dang! bet i could fit a long neck in that resoivor!

/mental note .. devise MC incar beer pump

[w810sc]

yeah the good thing about it is that it has a removable filter at the top when pouring in brake fluid.
I used braided lines to connected to the mc because i wasnt comfortable with the original metal brake tubes. I feel that if you dont bend them right, you can restrict the amount of flow through them and/or pinch them and cause a leak.
Also i have fitted a brake bias valve in the engine bay, which helps with brake adjustments.
thanks to TA-022 for the hook ups to Race brakes.

i was gonna say somthing before, cos i got mine for 70 for the pair then a rebuild kit was 40 for both sides

[sillycar chick]

And here comes the big decision you need to make. What inserts to use. Which ones you go with will determine whether you want to cut down your struts or leave them at standard height. Also calculating your spring rates and adjustment will determine whether you want to use shorter stroke shocks and simply space them up in the strut or shorten the strut. That discussion is best left for another time (possibly a post later in this thread)

Okay Takai, maybe we can go into this discussion now? Im a real n00b at all this suspension stuff, but I really want to give these coilovers a shot as I now have the corona struts and hilux callipers so im going to start the brake upgrade.

Firstly where can you get coilover stuff in Australia? Techno Toy Tuning in the US do coilover kits for US$199 but I have heard I can get them cheaper in Australia. I'll probably be purchasing T3 camber tops from them though....

How do you work out what spring rate to use? My car will be mainly for street use (hopefully a lot of fun mountain roads ) but eventually I want to get out on the track.

All this is going to be for a TA22 celica.... Appreciate your help

[takai]

All the information in this was covered in about 3 other threads. The information isnt Celica specific though.
Ill try and consolidate it down to a new thread in a little while, but im pretty flat chat with everything else about now.

To start though, a while ago i PDFed the threads from the old forums together. They are linked here:

Have a read of that for starters.
