    Default Front End differences KE3X sedan/wagon

    Hi,

    Is there any difference between KE30, 35, 36, 38 in the suspension front end design?
    Especially regarding front sway bars.

    Whiteline list BTF17 (20mm) for sedan and coupe,
    but a different part BTF6 (16mm) for wagon and van.
    Incedentally BTF6 is the same as listed for KE2# sedan and coupe.

    Why do you think they've done this?

    OK, so the reason the front bars are different sizes is the wagon and van bar is designed to clamp onto the existing bar where the sedan and coupe style is a complete replacement.

    Question still remains how are the two cars actually different in the swaybar?

    Now had it suggested that maybe KE30 sedan was AMI production while KE36/38 was imported. Can anyone confirm or deny? But i think it was unlikely the KE35 coupes were local production at all and aparently 30/35 is the same. fcuken confusing.

    none of the parts catalogue kiddies have any idea about it
