AE86 front COILOVERS size
Hi, everybody.
I'm Mitya from Ukraine.
And I'm building 'track day' AE70 Corolla.
Here... http://ae70.blogspot.com/

Recently I bought a pair of KeiOffice shock absorbers from some Dutsan.

I bought them that would be adapted for my Corolla.
But here is a question: how long should be good coilovers?

What should be "A" that I could drop my bucket as possible down to the pavement?

I will take into account any advice.
Thanks in advance!

Just what I remember from my recent suspension upgrade:
extended shock 477mm
+16mm spacer
+~40mm rest of body
A=~550mm

thats how it looks with 8kg springs

I forgot to mention, that I shortened the stock strut housings 20mm.
My springs came with former suspension setup, but with my changes the lenght of the spring is not ideal (200mm). If I had to choose I´d go for 250mm or even 300mm.
