soooo bought some jdm standard struts the other week to pull apart and get some trd gear for, as i pulled off the dust cover noticed a four way adjustable shock!! i nearly did a back flip

turns out they are Bridgestone Potenza Gymkhanas made by KYB, on the shock it says SUS00125 and MD29 KYB

body length of 402mm, not sure where to measure extended length from
