So I followed a picture I saw on here and ordered some 90s Corolla coilovers. With a simple mod they work perfectly for S81P. They have tons of adjustment, and at a minimum give you a 1 or 2 of lift with no lift kit! I got some adjustable damper version, and they are amazing offroad and on road. The only mod was to drill the top mount for the right pattern. Luckily the ones I got the bearing block was a perfect fit for the strut mount! I just had to flip over the bearing block to the top and then use it to line the holes up. Drilled the three holes the same size as stock in pressed in the studs. I used the stock upper bolt, and a camber adjustment bolt in the bottom. The whole pattern is slightly narrower than stock so the camber adjustment bolt on the bottom makes it fit. Test fit with no spring. Comparison to stock strut. Strut top mod.
Its the front coilover. The rear ones were longer, and didn't have camber plates ion the top. If you did a subframe drop, you could use the rear struts with the from brakets for a ~6inch lift.
Thanks interesting you say the rears may work for big lift. I have a complete parts truck accept the front diff and driveshaft. I keep looking at samurai axles to do a swap. Set the front end up like a coil front jeep suspension
Solid axle needs a entirely different kind of coilover. Jeeps and other coil spring solid axles generally use a separate spring and shock in the stock setup. There is a ton of fab work to convert independent to solid axle.
