Stock Suspension Measurements

I was wondering if anyone who has removed their stock suspension could take some measurements for me of the struts.

I am looking for the distance between the brackets on the front struts (i.e. width of the mounting point on the spindle) and the diameter of the hole on the bottom mount of the rear shocks. Plus some overall measurements (length overall, length of the strut mounts, etc). I'd be very thankful

haha nah, I was asked for measurements from someone to compare the stock FRS suspension to a GR suspension. Just want to see if they are similar...so before I go jacking my car up to take measurements I figured someone had them lying around and could get better ones.

I have a shop doing some suspension development and I will see if they can share what they have measured, they were taking very precise measurements.
