    Default Help with finding Short-stroke shocks ~ AE86

    Car - 1983 AE86 Sprinter

    motor / part in question - Front shocks

    problem - Not sure what shocks can pass as a short-stroke shock in the front.

    (are SW20 MR2 shocks compatible?)
    If you havn't broken it yet, your not driving hard enough

    So just for final conformation (buying some now off ebay)

    AE92 OR SW20 shocks will fit into the front AE86 struts and will serve as a short stroke shock?

    you will need a spacer (either top or bottom) if you are not modifying the height of the strut tube (coilover style)
