Are T18 / KE70 / AE86 swaybars the same?

[quikestsilva]

hey all, been ages since ive been on here havnt had the net, got a project t18 at home been working on it for a few months and have been buying a fewat the parts here and there

i want to know if the t18 front and rear whiteline swaybars are the same as a ke70 or ae86? ive tried to source a whitline front and rear bar for the t18 but they are no longer avaliable, from my knowledge the chassis rails are the same width but wasnt sure if they are the same at the control arm?
and not sure on the rear swaybars either??
as ke70 and ae86 swaybars are easy to get
cheers

I know the rear sway bars are all the same. TE72 has identical rear suspension and diff to AE86. Also, the RA60 rear swaybar is the same.

KE70 = 13mm
AE86 = 13 or 14mm
RA60 = 15mm

Yep,

all the same at the front, as is MX62 (24mm) RA60 and RA40 I think

not sure about t18, but ae86 and ke70/ae71 etc have the same rear swaybar, but the fronts are different.

Must remember the Series 1 T18 doesn't have a factory rear swaybar... only series 2.

Ok.... I'll bite.... what is the difference between the AE7 and the AE8 front sway bar/mounts????

Here is my AE71 with a Tanabe AE86 front bar

jdm ke70 coupe had a smaller dia rear sway bar than the jdm te71's i'd compared to. also rt132 2000gt had same rear sway bar. i would ass-u-me ma45 and ra45 same too.
but when did ke70 wagon ever have a rear swaybar?

judging by that id be pretty safe to order front and rear for a ke70??
i think i read somewhere that the "'R'' on the end stands for rear or heavy duty??

[oldeskewltoy]

3rd place in part number signifies front or rear - "F" front, "R" rear

[quikestsilva]

lol i didnt even pick up on that, i went to a shop to try and get some and they must of said the R is for heavy duty?
i just dont want to buy them and get stuck with them
