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 This post has been edited by Coomer: Mar 31, 2006 - 12:10 PM -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

It probably could...but then my suspension travel is reduced even more...and I'd be using struts designed to dampen a car with no engine in the front to dampen a car with an iron block engine in the front. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
