This just came out from Techno Toy Tuning.
The front suspension design on the KP61 has was always a "budget design" from Toyota. It utilized the swaybar as the TC (castor) Rod, which made it very hard to get precise steering feedback and stability at high speeds and while cornering.
Our rally customers requested a solution that would convert to a separate TC Rod and swaybar setup in order to provide the better handling of the AE86.
We aim to please, so this is exactly what we've done!
This complete solution includes:
1. Our fully boxed and fabricated adjustable lower control arms
2. Our fully adjustable TC Rods (adjustable from stock to 6 degrees caster if necessary)
3. Modular racing swaybar with that is adjustable for tension and allows you to choose your swaybar stiffness.
4. Heim jointed adjustable endlinks with urethane bushings on the lower mounting point.
5. Front chassis brace/mount that bolts to the stock chassis in 10 factory locations.
All parts are powdercoated or plated for rust prevention.
Requires the use of AE86 stock steering knuckles and strut casings or coilovers (but most everyone considering doing this conversion has already switched to these parts anyways). It is possible to run factory AE86 lower control arms to reduce the price by $350
Total price on the kit with everything pictured is $1125

Sweet setup garagestar! Gonna focus on the motorswap first! The stock motor isn't really cutting it even for daily use. Just waiting for more funds!
And when I leave, come together like butt cheeks...
What swap are you planning to do?
16v 4age. I need to stop putting all my funds in to the Miata tho!

I have some 4AG stuff laying around so if you need anything let me know. Also I have a set of T3 4AG mounts here from my old starlet. Brand new never been used. Damn I miss my Starlet!
I took one look at that Starlet and knew you had to be a pinoy. Ayos!
I've owned 2 myself and enjoyed driving that thing way more than my TE.
Subscribing.
Ah, love it! Friend of mine had one at the same time when I owned ae86, it was expencive at the time and all the money was in the engine, small 1.3 screamed over 10krpms. Darn it is long time ago, it was such a great combo in winter time, all those nights spent on sideways action.
Here's some 245hp 4A-ge love that I have to share...
