N76 OME's have about 11.5 inches shaft travel and are nice and soft.
SPOA with lifted springs sounds tall, post some pics please.

if you are not changing shock mounts and still running spua then even with ruf i guess the compressed length is no different to standard. longest ranchos that will fit are 99117 front and 99119 rear.
putting the longest shock to fit the compressed distance between the mounts gives ya the biggest travel and flex you can get (for the mount positions).

Personally after blowing a set I think that Rancho's are a bit over prices, I'm happy with my shocks, they are softer than Gregs 9012's also

bigsteve why do you keep on talking about SPOA in this thread? It isn't about SPOA it is about SPUA. I don't know where you got the idea it was SPOA from. Stop it as you are exciting redzook with all this SPOA talk

from memory , it was an earlier style celica !!

On the rear , I,m using Ford Xplorer shocks (rear)
but I,ve moved my upper mount inboard & upwards !!
