I used AE100 shocks on my AE80 ...

On the front shocks I replaced the shock head with the original AE80 one and widened the bolt holes on the spindles so that the AE100 bolts worked

On the rear the original AE80 shock heads were used on the AE100 shocks ...the bolt holes on the shocks were slotted in this case .

The shocks have been on the car for over 5 years now with much better ride than the AE80 shocks . The rear springs were cut to lower the rear of the car with no problems and it still rides really good.

I used the AE100 front shocks and spindle and the rear shocks and rear discs but I used my AE80 mounts; no problems yet.
