TE72 brake question

Postby raviolikid134 » Wed Apr 30, 2014 12:58 am

Im converting my TE72 wagon to run ae86 front brakes. I'm wondering if I can run ae86 braided steel brake lines as well. Anyone have any insight?

yes... but that is NOT going to be your problem....

The E7 chassis is 12mm wider @ the strut mounts then an AE86. This means installing AE86 struts will automatically give you 6mm postive camber per side.

To "fix" the positive camber... you'll either need adjustable upper strut mounts, or longer (adjustable?) low control arms.
