    Right mate, sorry been away hence delay.

    Part no is 765015 description Toyota MR 2 (SW20) KYB agX shocks

    I got mine from www.suttonautofactors.com and I paid £61.47 each.

    They bolt in on the front and go into the rear as you have seen with the mod. setting 1 is idea for road use. 4 for track use.

    They are the right length and combine with a 30 - 40% uprated spring set, maybe with a 20mm drop and new bushes, will see you happy :D

    off a mate, using the cams, inlet manifold and throttle body on mine turbo lump, and going to use the T-vis plate to make up a flowed spacer and dump the t-Vis completly.
    head will be used for flow experiments, and the block will be cleaned up, stripped bare and used as a wine rack.

    cool, re the shocks, as you can weld, should be an easy job.

    Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr gt st162

    Not bigger unfortunately,
    Disks are 5mm thicker, bigger pads and calipers - that's all

    If you want bigger, steal from the new WRX's. Should be an easy conversion

    Re: seank90, 1990, 2ltr gt st162

    I never use them - Brakes are for wussies!

    LOL, yea that could be bad news in the wet without ABS. The idea was to see what
    difference it makes and get better pad life as well.
    There's a Wrexi standing outside with 18's and monster Brembo's, inspiration for my next
    brake venture?

    How much did that poly set cost? :mrgreen:

    Side view of your car looks biiiiiiitchen. Look even better if the bottom trim, mud flaps and front air dam were re-painted black.
