Fitting the RCA's

[Jesse P]

Yesterday I finally found the right bolts to fix the RCA's to my car! It was quite a struggle to find the right bolts (M12x1,25x70), and they cost me a lot, but I've got them!

There was some other thing I ran in to:
T3 tells us that RCA's are effective on any lowered AE86
(Q: Does it matter if I am using coilovers or lowering springs?
A: No. RCAs are mounted on the bottom of the strut tube, so coilovers or lowering springs make no difference at all. )

On the other hand, Fensport tells us not to use them unless we run shortstrokes as well:
(Warning - should not be used on std length shocks, only used when full droop is less than 435mm, measured from centre of wheel to arch lip.)

I'm running a 40mm lowered AE86 on normal Koni Yellow shocks, but in my opinion the RCA's will just perfectly do their job in my setup. Am I wrong? Why would Fensport warn me not to use them in my setup?

Or is their statement incorrect and do they mean "std length struts"? That would make sense to me....
