FWD and AWD suspensions are different... Sorry, no swap...

BTW, you need to post new threads in the correct subforums... People are strict about that around here.

Your IAC (Idle air controller) is bad.

If its the right price, I need a new reliable daily driver.

How much would you need to get out of it if you resold it?

rs_green_machine · #7 07-03-2006, 08:15 PM

All 2g suspension is interchangeable. The spring perches are at different points since the ride heights differ, but with coil overs or other means to adjust height this is a non issue. I ran a suspension from a non turbo 2g on my GSX for a long time. The shocks and springs were too soft for the extra weight of the AWD turbo car though, so you may want to consider wether or not it will be worth the effort.

I learned something tonight... Kevin, you need to take me under your wing and teach me the ways of the DSM. lol

the eibach's that are on it are fully adjustable coil over set up where you can change height and soft or stiffness
