Yes and no. AE86 shocks are all normal(long)-stroke, regardless of the brand. Thats why, when wanting to go shortstroke, people buy shocks specified for other cars, which have a shorter stroke, but fit onto the 86. Popular option for front is an AE92 shock, which fits nicely into the stock ae86 strut, but you will need to shorten the strut so the shock doesnt wiglle inside as it is 60mm shorter. You may even cut less and use a spacer at the bottom of the strut, under the shorter shock. Hope that makes sense.

Look here for the guide on how to do this:

Rear is more simple, you just need a shorterstroke shock and lower away, as the stock setup is not coilover-type. Popular options for the rear are a MR2 or a Camaro (not sure which year for both) rear shocks. Hope somebody can confirm..
