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

Takai,

I noticed on the front page with the two different calipers, you mention that one is a "Landcruiser" caliper and the other is a "Hilux" caliper and you say that the "Hilux" caliper is the one with slightly better clearance... But, you never mention which one of the two is the one you call the "Hilux" caliper... It makes it a little hard when the Hilux comes out with both types...

Yesterday, I purchased a set of 4 pot calipers of a 4Runner (they still class as a Hilux don't they?) but I don't know what model it was...

Are these the right ones? (Number on outside of caliper - S12+8)

[takai]

The "Hilux" style ( i call it as such because i have never seen the style of caliper on a Cruiser" is the one which you picture.

Slightly better clearance at the expense of pad size. You have to use a slightly ground down RX7 pad for those.

Sweet... That was my assumption... Thanks for clearing that up...

nah see thats the caliper ive seen on landcruisers ... the triple fin is what i call "hilux"

but im sure toyota mixed and matched through the series' and ranges.

I also just realised that this setup requires the Corona XT130 Struts and Hubs...

I have the RT132 Struts and Hubs, will they work?

yes check the first page. the struts are the same and the hubs will give u a few mm extra offset over the xt130 ones.

Sweet... Thanks heaps!

[mikie]

what about ms65 hubs, any idea on offset as compared to rt132 and xt130?
maby if some one could put this into a table?

cheers mike

hi im doing this conversion atm.
i wanted to use normal springs and shocks and i have king lows. I needed to buy new shocks so i bought monroe ones from repco (ra23).They dont fit too well and the springs are loose now. would it all tighten up once i put it on the car.
Have i bought the wrong ones? did i need to buy xt130 ones. i'll be mighty annoyed if i did .

[twentyEight]

I have KYB shocks in my setup to suit RA28 (same as RA23 I assume) and I'm also using King lows and I have no issues...

[Major Clod]

I'm running Koni Yellows for an XT130/RA23 (they are the same shock) in my '23 with King Lows and while it is low (wouldn't mind it about half an inch higher, I have no issues.

ok thanks guys.
i'll bolt it up tomorrow and find out.
