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...

Well... there goes that short stroke theory. heheh... What I would do... is extend the casing. If you can weld... or know someone who can... it shouldn't be too hard. The problem now is the stroke length... which might be a bit tall... but I think it may be small enough that it shouldn't matter. Hmmm... sucks... cause I thought it *should* have worked. It can still work, cause it seems the shock does fit alright into the casing...
