Aloha guys.

How can I work out if I have superstrut suspension or not?

Pretty sure I don't, but just want to check I definately don't before I buy some new shocks/springs.


Cheers in advance :)

Twinpot calipers on the front if you have SS, single pot if you don't. :)

Have a look at the front suspension by turning the steering wheel hard right or left and look at the bottom end of the suspension where it's closest to the wheel hub or disk rotor...

if the suspension looks like it's got a curve 'c' shape suspension the it's super strut like the picture below.... TRD coilovers

if it's straight then it's McPherson sturt like the photo below... TODA Racing coilovers

Both for AE111

Cheers, will have a look when I leave work.

Looked at the brakes, and didn't have a clue just by looking at the calliper if it was single or twin pot :P
