    King springs make some. Get any to suit t18 ae86 etc. Or just put ae86 powersteering arms and some 86 coilovers in. You'll be thankful for them later

    80-81 models have a different mounting pattern on the upper strut mount, AE86 units will not fit. 82 and 83 models have the same upper strut mount as the AE86 so the AE86 parts can fit........

    A few issues you will encounter *IF* you start using AE86 parts(particularly strut tubes) on "kouki" type E7 cars... you will find you get positive camber. This is because the E7 chassis has 12mm more room between the strut towers than the AE86 does, but the cross member is the same. There is a thread in here on lower control arms... a few actually - the info in these may be useful
    Information is POWER... learn the facts!!

    Yea I just redrilled one of the strut top holes. You could just pit xt130 lca's in or if u go with coilovers they usually come with camber plates anyway
