suspension question
 

so i have an 87 suupra turbo with tems, and i also have a 96 nissan 240sx. im parting out the 240 and my shocks on the supra are blown to hell and i was wondering if i could usse the kyb shocks from the 240 on the supra. i wanna know what i would have todto makethe fit. thank you

i have been told that they are about the same size and if one could make the springs from the supra fit on the 240 kyb's then they would bolt right up. if anyone has heard of this and/or done it then any help would be appreciated.
thank you again. thank you bill

I’m at work at the moment, but I have a full set of KYB shocks in the garage at home. I’ll measure them up for you later.

great thank you. are they for the supra?

All dimensions are in inches; the shock on the left is a stock Toyota one, the one on the right is a KYB for a 1990 3.0 Turbo, which I think is typical for all the MKIII`s without tems. Under the spring retaining collar marked * there are three swaged flats measuring 1.878 dia.

my car has tems and i really dont care about it for now. but in this picture the kyb is shorter so i am really confused. oh and thank you for the help.

oh wait maybe its not shorter

The Toyota one isn't line up at the bottom which makes it look longer at the top, I had the KYB shocks on my Supra for a while without any problems before changing to Koni, Looks like I missed a dimension off.
