    Rear SW20 inserts are also relevant here, as they're the ones you'd more likely want in the front of an MA61.

    Hmm... the gabrial catalog says that MA6x & RA6x have different body lengths? 50+mm different? Given the # of people using RA6x struts in their Supras, I don't think so!

    RAV4 Fronts also fit with a thick washer or two for packing.

    Should clarify that by saying that they are the same fitment, not same body length/compressed/extended.

    For example, solid axcel xA6x/AE86 etc is same fitment as IRS xA6x, but a fair bit shorter

    sw20 rear shocks are the ones i have listed above - and i currently have a pair of Kei Office adjustables from the rr of a sw20 for this exact purpose.

    i too found that body length difference an interesting error

    Looking at the Whiteline website they list the AE92 Corolla GTI and SW20 fronts as the same part for KYB shocks.

    You list both part #s but one set of dimensions for the SW20, which could be confusing for others.

    Just goes to show that you can't trust manufacturer's catalogues :roll:

    I have GAB adjustables from the rear of an MR2. I estimate the body is ~40mm too short... are you using a bunch of washers for spacers, or fabbing something up?
