    main difference in struts is the width of the shock tube. as i recently found out u can put after market 86 shox into ke70 struts as the shock can't fit inside. they both look the same from the outside but yeh they are quite different

    the strut body length is 380mm , I just measured mine up now, depending on what shocks you have the total length can go up to 600mm which will be the end of the shock shaft

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SON57A @ Feb 3 2008, 12:04 PM) </div>Is this true?

    Someone told me that T18s have a different 4-bolt pattern where the caliper mount is?

    Is anyone able to tell the exact differences between T18 and AE86?

    The epc part numbers are different for the strut legs.
