Werz,

Short stroke means that you have a shorter shock obsorbers then stock. The stock ae86 shocks don't have enough travel left when you lower your car because of their lenght. Especially with gas struts this becomes a problem. Using normal sized ae86 shocks with stiffer springs will also mean that your spring comes loose when your car comes offf the ground and that is an MOT failure, atleast here in holland.

The solution is to use shorter shocks (hence the name short stroke) like AE92 shocks. You need to modify the struts by removing about 4cm out of the struts so the shorter shocks will fit. This way you can lower the car alot more and or install stiffer springs without getting into trouble.
