What rear springs did you use? I see 2 links for rear shocks but not the springs.

Sorry for getting to this question so late! I used some Canuck lowering springs for my application. It still isn't low enough for my taste, but it gets you there!

I answered my previous question, but I have a new one. Did you reuse the stock gland nut on the front tube or did you use the one that came with the AGX strut?

Skeeter, have I been trading a shit-ton of gland nut / strut insert messages with you on fb?

Skeeter

Yep, a shit-ton, maybe standard scale not metric. I'm still compiling options.

Ugh, I feel like a piece of shit for not checking on this since May of 2017. I basically emptied the innards of the OEM strut body, reused some of the damping shits to space the MR2 strut enough so it would sit correctly, and then used the stock nut.

Since the Canuck website no longer exists ... What other similar options do we have?
