NoHachi Wrote:No you end up with a strut housing that is longer then the TRD shock (they are in reality AE92 shocks). At rest the shock would be hanging inside the cartridge. The shock doesn't come into work untill the slack is taken up by spring compression. After that the shock hits the bottom of the cartridge with a nice little bang and starts working. No good.
You add a spacer under the shock to make things nice and snug. The shock starts working immediately during compression.

The spacer itself is just a lump of metal, something anyone can make on the quick.

I just cant picture what is happening there, the spacer fits into the strut casing right, and then the shock screws in above it, the body of the shock is constant, so finding it hard to see whats going on!
