the sw20 i have the partnr in my home data when i get back home i post the # here

What year MR2? and what model? I have a te31 (76) with 2 inch wide strut tubes that I want to do this to. I want to order the correct MR2 struts. It appears that you used the Ebay red and gold perches and springs. Do those spring rates work well? I cant find what rate they are and I am considering using them. -thanks

I do use the 1989 US specs Toyota Tercel struts insert, a little shorter than the SW20 ones!

How much " shorter are those ?

Are they also adjustable ?

About inch and a half, and no the ones i use are not, I never look for adjustable ones whatsoever, the 90% of the guys i see with adjustable front shocks after a conversion like this just go for the hard setup and forget about them, so why should i look for adjustability? anyway the only adjustment u get from them is from soft to hard, and the 98% of the guys who do this setup is just for looks not for function, That is why i dont care about adjustability, the Tercel ones have being proven to low 7 seconds on the 1/4 mile by most of the racers in PR back in the day, now they use Strange struts, cuz they are getting in the 6's
