I just want to know if the 89 SR5 strut housings will accept the GTS Strut cartridges?

The SR5 is not cartridge replaceable.. is a whole strut, so it won't unless you go with the GTS housing and replaceable cartridges.

I wasn't sure myself, but I did some checking on the computer and asked some of more experienced techs at work and they all said that some of the SR5s did come with cartridges. They just couln't tell me if the GTS would fit the SR5 housing because they had never seen them side by side.

The entire GTS strut assembly will fit into a SR5, but I am trying to figure out if I can just use the GTS cartridges on the SR5 housing so I can save a friend from spending as much money as I did with his GTS suspension swap!!

As far as I know.. SR5 is full strut, not cartridge. Ask Xenon, he had this problem when he bought strut cartridges from a GTS for his SR5 but they didn't work as the SR5 is a full strut.
