The ae92 shocks will be easy to find I think...and koni shocks are pretty good if you ask me. I think you can also use MR2 SW20 shock absorbers in the front..but I dont know if its are the fron or rear shocks that you need in that case. You'll need some more spacers inside the strut with ae92 shocks because those have a shorter body.

T3 sells ground control coilover kits afaik. Good stuff, but pricy. Paradise racing also sells nice coilover perches at a nice price, but you'll have to be patient with the shipping since Luis is known to be a bit slow on that front sometimes.

Send Robokill a PM about those TRD springs...he has a couple himself and knows where to get them at reasonable prices.

I plan on going T3 up front later on, and also the TRDs. But these have to do it till then. You can't have all at once Smile


I've read the tech reference on Club4AG. Its pretty good i think. But what really worries me is how to assamble the whole thing back together. And isn't there some oil included in that prossess too? I've really never thought about shocks that much in the past.
