Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time.

The Koni insert looks like a great idea but which insert would be used (part #)
I already have the Koni single adjustable struts converted to coil overs now just need to know what to order for the insert.

We need to know the dimensions of the stock fiero strut body, specifically the depth of the housing from the inside bottom to top, length of stroke, overall length compressed and extended.. I searched a few measurements but have seen some contradictory data but stock strut inside depth looks to be 11 7/8", koni depth is approximately 12 3/4" to 12 7/8" which opens up one more option on the 8611s.
Qwikgta I remember you obtaining some measurements of your KYB struts and they're housing being longer than the stock struts... do you remember that thread?
Did you convert your koni front 8040's with their 80.0000.1 conversion kit, if not, what did you use, if so how did you utilize the 2.25" springs it requires? Or did you use the 2.25" to 2.5" perch conversion and run conical springs. If you used conical springs with the 8040's as full to partial coil overs how did you strengthen the shock mount tabs on the LCA for the added spring pressure. Do tell as I'm looking into this myself....[This message has been edited by msweldon (edited 10-06-2019).]

I have a line on a local set of old OEM rear struts to tear down and get some measurements.
Does anyone have a set of loose KYB rear struts at the moment and provide us/me with some housing dimensions to see if they differ any from the OEM struts?
