Strut comparison MX62 / RA6X / MA61

Ok, I have the struts off the SA63 celica we wrecked, which have bigger and thicker brakes (258 / 20mm compared to 248 / 18mm) and want to look into fitting these struts onto my MX62. Is it a worth while swap it they are a bolt up fitment in your opinion?
Has anyone ever compared MX62 struts to RA/MA struts, someone who has upgraded the brakes on a sprinter perhaps? The effect the struts will have on track / offset / and camber (kingpin inclination in my haynes manual is given as 7deg 26mins +- 30mins, does anyone have the figures for a SA6/RA6x celica?) would be great.
Also does anyone know how much the lower control arms differ in length MX62/SA63 (Yeah I will get off my arse and measure when I have the SA63 units out  )
Any info would be much appreciated 
Also is it true that MA61's and RA60 / SA63 / RA65's share the same size brakes, the dba catalog states that they do (I would have thought the MA61 would have had better brakes?).
Whoa what a massive load of questions, sorry fellas  
Cheers

left: MA61 right: RA60
the two overlayed:
so yeah, kingpin angle of the ma61 is different to the ra60. what that means for the ra60 vs mx62 - i have no idea, but dont be surprised if theyre diferent

Yep seen that on your site b4, nice work, I might try and do something similar with MX62 vs SA63.....I'm also expecting it to be so different as not to work 'Doh' lol
btw did you ever get that fan speed resistor file?
