I'll have to see if the P/N's Cross.
BTW, I quit the dealer! It got bought by an organization I didn't like. So, I'm working in computers.
But I can check with some of my former associates and see if these will work. They don't happen to have the PNs showing, do they?
As far as the smoke, it was OIl. I think the PVC plugged and built up pressure. Hasn't done it since!
I'll be in touch.
BTW, are you getting any messages from supras.com? I haven't received any since Friday!!!
Hope my ISP isn't Spam filtereing them!

Sure hope your hiway smoke wasn't a serious issue. I hear those MK3s have a head gasket issue, so you might want to check into that. I'm a MK2 guy and these springs were with a bunch of parts I bought as a job lot. I was told they were replaced with Eibachs many years ago when the car was quite new. As I recall the guy said they were from an '86 or '87 but since I'm not at all familiar with MK3s I can't swear they will fit your '88. Didn't I send you the pic? Here it is again. I can take measurements if that would help, or maybe someone at your dealership can tell from the pic?
Best regards;
Bob
