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

[The Real Roadrunner]

Good luck buying them cheap, the aus distributor holds the price fairly high and to be honest for the extra $$$ involved i would prefer to put in a set of Koni's.

Ben you could try these guys (ebay store in the US), I got mine through them a while back and by the looks of the receipt I dug up they cost me $244 US posted. At the time I think the conversion was pretty good for me, dunno if its that good now. But in Australia expect anywhere from $600 up IIRC.

Hi,

thanks Silly, any idea what ones in particular you got from them???? How does the 22 handle now with the brake upgrade (or is it not in yet?)

I got the SW20 MR2 rears..... the struts have been in the blue 22 since not long after I bought it, the package made a huge difference to handling and braking

ive bought some rebuild kits for my hilux calipers, but the seals are all the same size instead of suiting the different piston sizes, what is the specifics of this, what should i ask for, i checked on the pbr website and it says

k1822s for both rn and ln106, both list only one piston, what model came with the twin pistons?

[Sagluren]

ha ha ha i just happen to have the re build kit packet in front of me, i have the different sized piston caliper and the protex part number is k1054s.

i had the same problem so i rang ABS and gave then half a caliper and they matched it up for me, have since kitted the calipers and was all good.


cheers

My calipers with different sized pistons came from from the front of a live axle 60 series Landcruiser if that helps.

Hi,

they were also in the earlier model hilux - rn46 and possibly more.

Hey guys i am trying to determine what hilux caliper i have and the brake pads from other cars i can use. I am not wanting to buy the wrong pads as i wont get refunded.

Hi,

you have the newer one that takes the vented disc. should be an s13w if my memory serves me correct. Pads should be littered thoughout here.

They look like the S12W, which are from the LN106 & Hilux Surf (which is where my ones came from)
But there will be a stamping on the casting which will confirm the model.

So this caliper can take a rx7 series pad filed down ? Just getting alitte confused when i read this quote.. Since ive got the bigger style of pistons, which pad from what model manufacture please

I just fitted up a set of S4 RX7 hawk pads to my landcruser calipers (two different piston size) no worries at all, no need to cut them down, just straight in. There is plenty of room from the end of the pad to the hub also.

LN106, same as R32 GTR and R33GTST.
no filing required.

Depends on the pads you run, the DS2500s i tried would have needed to be filed.
