    hey peoples... just a few questions.... to the people who have put AE86 front struts into an AE71, how did u decide on the heights...

    - i have Custom Sprung Super Lows from kings in the rear (for an AE71) and if i purchased Custom Sprung Super Lows for the front 86 struts, would it be lower or higher at all??? not sure really how to word this question, just wondering if any1 has had a problem with 86 struts/springs making the car lower at the front.

    - Also, when putting in aftermarket front shocks (i have adjustable konis) into 86 struts, has anyone cut their struts down to fit, or has everyone just used spacers??? looking for pros and cons of both options... im pretty much looking at getting them cut down, just trying to find out if any1 has done it before.

    I think thats all for now...

    all help appreciated... thanks ROSS

    to the eye the guard level usually looks higher on the front

    use spacers, only cut if going coilover

    cheers
