Sorry havn't posted but i used a clamp and i had the end of the shock in my eye...









jokes...



I changed the strut instead with some height adjustable ones so i didn't need a spring compressor anyway. Now my 86 has trd shocks all round with rear adjustables, cusco 12kg front with cusco pillow ball camber tops and trd 6kg blues in the rear... OVERKILL! but suprisingly stilll rides very well (and i live in a bumpy suburb) still might downgrade to 8kg TRD fronts in the future, see how these go.

Was going to change the ae86 rear diff into JDM locked diff but i ran into another problem fitting the ae92 brakes. the backing plate(i think thats what the thin bit of metel around the disc is...) is in the way. as soon as i get the disc off and can cut and bits in the way

Thanks for the help with my suspension! Very Happy

EOI: standard struts with fairly new shocks and standard springs, and matching rear bits.
