yeah they fit, youll need a spacer and possilby a differant retaining nut as the thread pitch does vary between some toyotas.
we have AGX shox in stock if you want some man. theyre mr2 type, so theyre short stroke aswell.
Can you?
If so, how much work and is it worth it?
Otherwise im looking for some adjustable shocks or something for ae86 struts Yay $$$$$$

I used to use st-185 shocks and now st-204 shockers, as sydar said, use a spacer or do as I did and shorten the sturt 60mm.

ST185 shocks have a body length of 328mm so are fairly short. as a guide i was able to purchase some from my local supplier for $150 a pair in non adjustable KYB, not sure what the retail is on them.
If i did plan to make the short stroke shocks fit (that im currently running in Ra60 Struts) into the ae86 struts i think i have two means of attack if im right.
1. Put spacers in (heard this makes it pointless for them being short stroke, cause then it just makes them space out as much as normal ones)
2. Cut down the strut... obviously this means work and precision
is this right?
Dimitri if it comes to it ill give you guys a yell about coming to get some shocks for ae86 struts.
Cheers
you need to shorten the strut and use a spacer, just like when you use HTS shocks
just make sure the piston length is shorter than stock then use a spacer
i have plenty of short stroke front shocks in excel g and agx...i also have spacers to suit
Dave is right,
lets say you use that gt4 shocker, it is 60mm shorter and therfore if you use it in a standard strut then you still end up with a 60mm shorter stroke due to the shorter shaft length. If you do the same thing again but with a cut down strut then you get a 120mm shorter stroke as far as I understand.

wouldnt it be 60mm short stroke and 120mm shorter in total?

I think there may be some confusion here between the terms "stroke" and "open length" (or in the case of installing the shock to the sprinter strut "effective open length")
