Updated: I Need Strut Help! Options

[Coomer]

I'm trying to figure out which inserts I need to get in order to obtain optimum results by running shortened struts in the front, and I have a few questions.

1. Does anyone know the stroke range for factory shocks on the front of our Celicas?

2. And also, does anyone know the stroke range for other MacPherson-strut-equipped Toyota cars such as the AW11, SW20, AE92, and AE86?

3. What's the inner-diameter of our stock strut housings?

Punch's thread is very helpful but I'm looking for just a bit more information.

Thanks,
Christian Coomer

I'd always read that they were the same as well...except the sport suspension on some GTs that use different fully-sealed strut assemblies could have a different length.

This thread has a bit of information, but I couldn't imagine Toyota changing the strut height by any sort of significant amount(What I got from Punch's thread and corresponding with him through PMs was that his strut assemblies were 4" taller, because he needed to use a 2" spacer and cut 2" off of the top of the strut assembly.)

Can someone with a sealed front GT strut assembly measure the height of the strut assembly for me?
