RA6# are single piston, but vented discs.
RT132 are twin piston (Sumitomo caliper), but solid discs.
RT132 struts are commonly used in early Celicas. They sure as hell are not 300mm in size, they're actually 266mm.
It is possible that you have RT132 struts with non-standard vented discs and a caliper spacer made up to suit the increased width.
RT132 struts are commonly used with DBA F272 discs (vented) and LN106 or equivilent Hilux calipers. Perhaps these are the discs you have.
TA's and RA's have different front geometry; in TA22 an unmodified RT132 Corona strut housing is too long. If you're considering buying these for your TA22, this is something you should consider.
If you're interested, I have a pair of custom springs to suit RT132 strut into TA22 with TA22 upper spring seat and RT1232 lower seat. Contrary to common belief the original TA22 spring doesn't! fit properly and the ride height will be increased approx. 1" - 1.5" as well.
Hope this helps.
