I know Andy at AMR Engineering. I asked him to look at his solidworks drawing of the coilovers he makes for the AW11. He told me that for the 87-89 the front measures 59.4mm while the rear measurems 58.4mm. You were close.

Now the 85-86 he said the front and rear are exact in dimensions. His drawing for the 85 aw11 has the front and back at 59.4mm, but a customer of his told him it actually measured out to be somewhere around 60.96mm. So now he is going to double check to make sure the customer is correct because he's had that measurement of 59.4mm in his drawing for quite some time, and from what he's told he has made the aw11 coilovers for the 85 before.

Hope that was helpful.

No, my car was vandalized, so I gave them up. They went to another member on here that had ordered some. Well Andy is only a phone call away. So it wasn't hard to pick up the phone and ask him. So you already measured them up, you didn't my help
