    JIC USA arnt that keen on doing them, JIC japan are stupidly expensive. JIC USA arnt sure if they can do them.

    Might actually pull them down and check them out, might be able to just order new TRD shocks for them! probably cheaper and better as JIC dont last that long anyway.

    There's a fulcrum suspension joint here in brissy that rebuilds *shitloads* of coilovers. Worth a try? If not, i can call them and ask

    okay thanks for the replys guys.

    just pulled a shock out, they just use the normal type of 'cartridge' for 51mm struts.

    body length is 300mm (or just under), shaft length (incl thread) is 210mm.

    i remember there being a thread before about TRD shocks with all the specs of them but having trouble finding it?

    hhmm,

    AE92:
    Body length: 336mm
    Extended length: 500mm
    Extended minus Body: 164mm
    Outside Diameter: 43.5mm

    found this, but im unsure if ae92 TRD yellow will be even shorter in the body?
