shortening an ae86 strut case
i will be using the sw20 agx's and i wanted to know how much to cut off of the case so i don't need a spacer. i was going with 50mm but i wanted to be sure before i screww up a good set of cases.

I would suggest Club4AG - Tuned Toyota Automobile Enthusiasts or Hachiroku.net
I would search those threads about shortening the case. They do have exact measurements, pics, and DIY's as well. have fun!

i'm putting a ford 8.8 under her. i also got a coilover conversion kit from Qa1 and i will be using it for the rear. i will be keeping the 4link setup because it works how it is right now. here is the part# 765015 sw20 kyb agx adjustables...you can pretty much find them anywhere that sells shocks.

correct! 3tc....efi....boost.....35+ to be exact. there have been tons of haters in this forum in the past and i am building this car with them in mind. i had my run in's with supra owners and they talk a lot of shit. don't get me wrong i love those cars but some of the bitches are cocky as hell.....back to the topic. i will post the car up once it is done.
i found out what to do as far as cutting the strut case, i will go with 40mm and then use a 20mm spacer.

i used aw11 rear struts in the front of my 84 mkii. i used washers to space it up and cut the spring seat off and welded a new one on for the coilover sleeve. works great actually.
