Great looking setup Woodonastick! My current suspension setup might be going up for sale in the spring (only 6 months old too)...

correct. make sure they are from the 85-86 rear mr2 shock. those are the matching part#. i am not sure if the newer models work or not. try at your own risk. 1st gen mr2's are weird. its like..they half assed the suspension or something.

(they're 85-86 aw11 MR2 shocks) i didnt get a chance to get take pics of the car on the floor. ill do that tomorrow. for people thinking wat spring length to get? i suggest a 6"er. i had to set the sleeve to its lowest point (with 7" springs), and the drop was taller than when i had my rb's. the ride itself is great, very easy to install. great job on all the products billy.
and the first pic is my new wheels i thought id just add.
