motor / part in question - Front suspension inserts

problem -

Hi guys, I'm finding it difficult to find information on insert body lengths. I'm looking for inserts with a short body, as my strut tube is only 345mm. So far I've found the KYB AGX for a Celica St204 fits with a 332mm body, what else is out there? Can be from a different car, just needs to fit the Ae86 strut and be 345mm or under..
Cheers

There is always the option of koni 8610-1437, or 8611-1259 if you want double adjustable shocks. Commonly used on s30 Z's in America. Usually paired with 200 or 250 lb springs but they'll take 450 lb springs (8kg) no problem.

So are your strut tubes shortened at all? Is there any reason you don't want to go with the ST204 inserts?

Yeah they were cut down in the conversion the previous person did. I don't mind going Agx, was just seeing what else is available. I was looking into bilsteins but can't find any info on insert body lengths...
