    TCK strut thread and shaft size - Updated for future reference

    Hey guys,

    I'm running a set of TCK DA coil-overs with Vorshlag camper plates, and I want to try a set of GC street plates but on their site they ask if it's a 16mm shaft with a 14mm thread, or a 14mm shaft and thread. My car is tucked away for the winter so it's not that easy to go check.

    Does anyone know what the TCK struts came with? I believe it's the 14mm shaft, but I'd hate to order the wrong ones.

    TIA

    *UPDATE*

    I ended up reaching out to TCK directly to see if I'd get a quick answer and they replied within hours:


    "14mm threads and shaft. You need to purchase non- M3 camber plates to fit our struts"

    Pretty sure stock konis are 16mm like sachs and bilstein. 14mm is on the high end jrz/mcs, but I did read a couple of times that D/A konis from TCK are 14mm.

      I was under the impression that the OE strut and OE style replacements struts had the 16mm, and most aftermarket had 14mm, so that would make sense. It's been ages since I've had my suspension apart.
