and friend and i are checking on this at the moment. we belive that the PO of his car did this in an 88 and it's causing some serious alignment issues. it's probably safe to say that it would cause the same issues on your car.

previous owner.
why don't you just buy a set of struts for the '87-89???
the earlier ones don't fit properly inside of the strut cartriges, although i suppose it would depend on the build date of your particular car.

this guy is selling a set of struts w/ shock insert adjustable its a set the only thing that i'm worry about if the whole suspension from 86 will bolt on to a 1987 mr2...
the are really good price ...plus i want to put a rear sway bar...

i hope they will bolt on in my 87...
