Usually they treansplant everything from a AE86 halfcut inside the KE including crossmember, engine, wiring, dashboard, blah blah.

For the rear suspension got ways. Get a AE86 or KE70 rearcut and cut and paste the rear floorpan to use AE86 stuff. You need to relocate the fuel tank too. The worrisome part is if the person who does this is not experienced or bad workmanship.

The other way you need to get higher rate leaf springs and combo it with uraethane bushes. Or you could still stick to stock leaf but you use custom coilovers or search for same mount coilovers for the rear to increase the spring rate. If you have the moolah, fiberglass leaf springs! To further beef it up you can partner it with anti-roll bar or lateral bar. And traction bars for what else traction!

You can drift a KE with just the engine and leaf spring combo. Seen it before in shah alam in one KE30 with 4AGE and stock leaf. But he over cooked himself and landed in the drain beside the track!! I think he was with the Bangi drifter guys. Good Luck.
