i had a legacy and noticed the perch for the spring was lower and immediately thought moar lower. then i thought maybe a vehicle weighing twice as much might have more dampening so i threw them in! |

Aah, clever. How hard is it to find the crash/camber bolt spacing on struts?

Interesting...
I need to find some shorter struts for my tercel...if those fit the Yaris then they are way too big for the terkle spindle
