Re: Turns out that MA6x RCAs don't fit RA6x.... but might AE86 RCAs?

Take some measurements of your strut and let me know. I have some AE86 RCA drawings somewhere.
From memory, the centre of the large hole is ~3.5mm offset from the centreline of the two small holes.
And filing all the locator ring isn't that dodgy a solution, the smaller sleeves will still locate it properly and it'll save you buying a new pair of RCAs.

Wonder if any toymodders happen to have an Ra6x strut lying around to save me having to take my strut out.
I realise that it will locate properly, but I figured they wouldn't make RCAs like that without a good reason. Plus, if AE86 ones fit, they are easilly had, and I can sell these on to a toymodder with an MA6x wiht MA6x struts. They're 30 or 35mm; the last celicasupra group buy was for 25mm and the group buy has finished.

Found out that AE86 is 85mm between holes; xA6x is 89mm. I'll just grind one side of the centring ring off when I take the struts out to convert to coilovers.
Also, Whiteline lists same part # for all rwd celicas, MA6x supra, and AE86
