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

blank struts? You only need the rear cover and the strut tower. No discs or calipers so should be alot cheaper than that. Where from? pick n Payless?

[Spectre]

Whats a good price for a pair of xt130 struts? I got quoted $150

I payed $50 for a pair of complete RT132 struts. Condition was that I pulled them out myself. Found em in the Quoka.

I paid $70 for a full set (with attached brakes, springs, tops, etc) from u-pull-it.

[celicaboy_2000]

Thats for the complete strut, dont think they will want to sell just the strut and hub without the brake setup etc Any of you guys no where the closest pick n payless is to the ACT?

[Major Clod]

I too paid $70 for a complete set with springs, hubs, brakes, etc...

RAd28 was hunting around some wreckers the other day for me, as I need some hubs, he could only find 1 wreckers that had any 'ronas, they wanted $22 PER HUB! This was at zillmere or something, so we decided we would wait till Wacol or Oxley got a corona in and get it cheaper. I dont really wanna be paying $44 just for hubs [/end rant]

[Major Clod]

A month or so ago I was at Park Ridge Wreckers on Station Road at Loganlea, they had 3-4 130 series coronas there, they only wanted around $50 for a pair of struts including them pulling em out... So I'd imagine the hubs would be cheaper... If you call em, don't expect them to be any help over the phone though.. also make sure they double check they actually have a corona still in the yard!

[Rcubed]

bought complete XT130 struts [w/ calipers rotors] from a place in Oxley [qld] $20 each and $40 postage

[celicaboy_2000]

ta23-mbzq-nnr, could you PM the details of the place you got the struts from?

[mikie]

a little late but, has anyone thought of using a mx83 MC. from what i saw at the wreckers today they are 4 bold and the 2 catalogs that i have checked list them as 25.4mm bore, thoughts ???

cheers mike.

[twentyEight]

I believe somebody on another thread mentioned that the MX83 MCs are the same as the MA/GA70 MCs... Which is good, but I haven't seen any MX83s at any wreckers I've been to, but by the sounds of it, you have...

[mikie]

indeed i have, will get it an let you know how it goes.

cheers mike

[celicaboy_2000]

Yeah im using a MX83 MC, the only thing you have to alter is the pipe that goes in the r/h side of a RA23 MC and bent it to suit the l/h side of the MX83 MC.

So can you guys confirm what you're saying above, on the MX83 MC, the line to the rear brakes goes into the middle on the same side as the engine?

[TA-022]

hubs only means

remove caliper
remove caliper mount
remove hub & disc
remove disc from hub
repeat for other side.

your paying for time not parts.

i can pull struts out in 5 mins .... breaking them down is longer.
