ep82 -> ep71 suspension

Postby AE86less » Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:17 pm

Just a quick question, posted in here for a quick answer hopefully!

Will coilovers from an 82 fit a 71?

yes will fit, can use ep82 top hats but you just have to widen 2 of the holes on each strut top of the front of the car. Rears fit sweet.

Slot strut tower holes with round file, we're talking 1.5mm on a couple of the studs. Not visible/has zero impact on function.
