Dimensions of MR-S shocks

[ales_000]

Hi team,

I'm not the owner of an MR-S at present, though I'm keen to sort a 2ZZ swapped MR-S as/when cashflow allows.

For the time being I drive an AE111 BZR and one of the issues with them being superstrut cars is a lack of suspension options.

I've heard that MR-S rear Koni Yellows might fit in the superstrut shock bodies which would be a huge step up over factory dampers.

To try and confirm this I'm hoping that one of you good souls might have some OEM MR-S shocks that you could measure to help help out a fellow Toyota enthusiast. Specifically I'd be interested in knowing the diameter and length of the shock body and if possible the fully extended and fully compressed lengths.

Alternately, if anyone has a busted rear shock lying around that I could measure or that you don't need and would sell, that would be great too. I'm located North Shore, AKL.

Really any help that you good people can offer would be amazing!

Thanks in advance,
Andy

I no longer have OE shocks... but perhaps you could find out the dimensions for Koni Yellows for MR-S (from a supplier) and compare that with your BZR's OE setup?

Thanks for the response, PSYGUY.

I've tried chasing down the dimensions from a few Koni suppliers but haven't had any luck as yet.
Koni don't publish dimensions and none of the suppliers that I've spoken to and emailed as yet have been able to give me the dimensions of the inserts but I'll keep trying them to see if I can get the info from someone.

Again, thanks for your prompt response!
