TRD rear shocks 48531-AE881
Hey guys,

I have the TRD 6kg springs in the back, and brought the TRD blue 8 way adjustable shocks, item 48531-AE881 and they have such a long stroke they dont leave the springs captive when the car is jacked up! Have I brought the wrong shocks? What am I missing?

48531-AE881 = Lmax 553 Lmin 333 Rate 160/60 Street & Gymkhana
48531-AE831 = Lmax 473 Lmin 293 Rate 155/50 Race (short stroke)

So 80mm shorter at full stretch.

Cheers... jondee86

Even with those short stroke shocks, there is still 20mm of uncaptive rear springs with the blue TRD 6kg springs, guess Ill need a spacer made up, damn.

A spacer wil make the car sit higher no? Problem is in the ratio of unweighted and weighted spring lengths. You could try some straps like some people use.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
