    depends how much you cut out of the strut.......40mm is the norm.

    use a spacer and ae92 or sw20 shocks......huge variety TRD, kyb, Tockiko

    If you mean XT130 struts then the strut tube is the same as an AE86 strut tube. So any shock that will suit AE86 struts will suit XT130 struts.

    Sorry, just realised that I'm not 100% sure that AE86 and XT130 length is the same. Diameter and thread etc match, but doublecheck length before cutting them if you're going to do that.
