ST185->ST202 Suspension Interchangeability

Postby Boosted_162 » Fri Sep 04, 2009 8:52 pm

Woah thats a big word...lol

Anyway, just a quick question. Will the suspension from a ST202 (macpherson strut) fit into a ST185? I know ST205 doesnt due to superstrut. The george stock website says they both share the same springs so maybe?

Springs will fit, but unsure about the struts, check the spacing between the bolts going thru the hubs, they change between some, and the distance between the studs on the tophats

Yeah, unfortunately i dont have a set of ST202 struts to compare, im asking cos ive seen a nice set for sale...

But now thinking about it, spring rates are probably wrong since its designed for a FWD na, not a 4WD turbo.
