    Default tell tale signs of ae86 struts

    hey guys

    ive got some struts here with only hubs, discs and brake brackets.

    how can i tell if they are ae86 struts? because they could be corona/te72 celica ect ect ect. i dont want to build coilovers to find i cant use any brake upgrades

    thanks

    also is the hsd sleeve kit the way to go?
