One Kyb's even out with the top center nut while Toyotas have extra thread on top. Second I measure one side versus the other side which had a toyota one and the difference in height is .25. Now that took away that much from my drop, making it that much higher. As possible advice based on my experience, it is best to get OEM strut mounts. Now at first I thought maybe I had to drive it around a bit. Then again, I wondered why is the Toyota side the correct height without even driving it yet. So thats my word of advice. Anyone can say otherwise? -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~
