5th gen suspension on a 6th gen - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #70596 3 posts Started by Joe_1985
ok so i aquired a complete set of kyb shocks, h&r springs with boots bumpstops and mounts assembled

the rear set up ever thing bolts into place no problem

the front,99% seems to bolt up fine cept the brake hosess.

6th gens are held in with a 12mm skrew and bracket
5th gens are held inplace with a slider type clip, and the hose goes though the opening where the clip sits

ill try to take pics tomarrow

what i will try to do is take a washer that fits the 12mm skrew, put it behind where the hole is and get a correct fitting nut for the skrew as well.

ill post pics up tomarrow

also i noticed the front strut mounts are different, everything lines up fine but the mounts look alot different , but yet everything bolts on fine.

i wont be able to test it out till monday morning because i poped out the cv axles to replace em but im waiting for em to come in still, which will be monday

about the strut mounts: fits because its the same chassis. looks different because one probably supports more weight. that'd be my guess.

if you dont get it alighned you will chew though tires

also, my camber and toe seem to be way off the outsides of my tire wore quickly and i ruined 2 225/45/16s in a month in a half, as of now im on the stock bbs but im going to get a alighnment check today to see if i can getaway with getting some camber bolts
