so some of you will know im looking at changin my suspension set up. i want to know what struts will fit into my ae92 sedan.

ive heard of ae101 non s/s struts bolting straight in, are there any pros/cons to this?

why not go king springs and kyb inserts?
seem to make the fxgt handle pretty well.

its an option... im just looking around at what i can do at the moment. id like to go with coilovers purely for ease of adjustment and the fact that most of them come with a easily accessible camber adjustment.

but was also wondering about pros/cons as to using a strut out of a different chassis code all together

true, fair nuff.
might pay to get the bushes done while you are at it.
get the most out of your new suspension

ive got ae101 struts, front are the same, back have different bottom bucket and tophat, but same bolts on the hub.

Need to use ae92 rear top hat, ae101 strut and ae101 spring.

late ae92 and ae101 are sealed units. You have to cut them to fit inserts.

no you wont unless you go really really low. and u cant go that low in an ae92

ae101 struts are inserts, not sealed.

Are they?

That what I thought when I first saw them but last time it was on the hoist at THA SHZ's I pointed them out but he said they look like inserts but they actually arnt.

Maybe they are do you have any proof mr revhead?

the ones i pulled out of mine were insert type, and so were the new genuines i put in...

my spring i got off 1998 made my wagon ultra low:) sitting under the guards and handles like it's on rails.oh under the guard and it's on 13" mags:) fully captive and legal.

AE92 ones are inserts as well, I have one sitting at home ready to go in, they have a hexagonal nut type thing on the top of the oil filled part of the shock, Pies, if you put coilovers in your car it will be worth 3 times what the cars worth :lol:

I would suggest just getting some KYB's and low springs combo, Why you'd want to go any lower I have no idea? :roll:

it seems late ae101 front struts are sealed. late rears, early rears and early fronts insert. not 100% on all those but 95% :wink:
