    Japlish... i should've mentioned in my earlier post that it was using R32 front struts to make it happen

    Sorry!!

    But that is awesome news though.
    ...... butt scratcher?!

    yeah i actually was supposed to get r32 struts but i thought r33 would be close enough.

    i'm pretty stoked so far, $90 instead of $600+......

    Just to clarify, for those that are a little upset by the quoted new airbag prices.

    I have ordered a PAIR of rear struts/bags from Toyota, and they are under $700.00 each.

    So if the bank balance can stand that, you will return to the original factory ride, which is just fantastic.

    cheers Chuck.

    can you still incorporate the air bags with those R33 struts or will it be bag-less in the rear?

    it will be bagg-a-less
    although it will still be easy to convert back to bag if the need may be.

    Well that makes my 40 minutes per side swap for new bags, sound really good. Trade price on my struts was $640.00.each.

    cheers Chuck.
