Yes.
Compare your stock shock inserts with the new one. If new ones are shorter 60mm and you have 30mm spacers (for example) - calculation is 60-30=30 (to cut). |

what is the length of the stock shock?
Maybe we could list all those lengths of different common used shocks(Blues, HTS, konis86/92 etc) in the technical FAQ. As those are often asked (eg. are those shortstrokes, how much to cut, spacers ,etc). Better overview for less pro's (me=noob ) Just an idea... An '86 86 driver Zenki AE86 Levin coupe |

On top of the strut tube, instead of the nut that usually sits there.

less expensive is to use 3cm (or what your need size) spacer from polyurethane or aluminium over the shock, you dont need to cut your struts with those or with this T3 stuff.
