Something like this, makes a fair difference
Also, after driving my old corolla with out a strut brace then bolting one on (lent it to a mate) this difference in turn in response and front end grip was very, very noticeable.

yes i did fail she was 14 what u expect(shakes head)
Just wanting to no if excel G short stroke front shocks in ae86 struts be ok with 6kg 200mm springs. Will these shocks keep the springs captive and will it be stiff enough any help would be appreciated
Thanx
depends what car they were made for which makes or breaks the stroke, if you havnt chosen some yet st185 would prob be best to go they will be fine
they will be fine but not captive
strut needs to be cut down
