Same story as S13 stuff. Can you get it to fit, jup. Can you get it to work? Difficult to nearly impossible if you're not a gifted fabricator and suspension engineer.

In the end, any strut/coilover can be made to work by making sure it doesn't move much. See all the popular AE86 setups (8/6) where 75% of the suspension compliance comes from the unibody and tires flexing.

Do you know the strut diameter of the KE struts? If its the same as earlier KE models you can go DIY coilover with some ebay coilover sleeves and MR2 AW11-mk1 (there are 2 types of AW11 ! ) rear koni shock obsorbers. These are shortstroke in the KE housings (that need to be shortened just like the AE86 ones).
