AE101 springs in ST215?

Postby cat007 » Thu Feb 07, 2013 8:48 am

So I just read the questions on this auction:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =558385706

That the AE101 springs fit in a ST215 Caldina

Can anyone confirm this?

How about the shocks etc?

They probably will. I had ST215 fronts in my EE90 but it raised the front so much that the camber was way out. ie +ve. The spring rates would be all out because the ST215 is much heavier. It did make the car handle better but this is going the other way.

Also I recall that the rear springs on a Caldina taper. Big coil radius at the bottom and small that the top. Hence the seating mention in the second answer.

I'm not sure how the RS*R rear springs fit the struts being the same size top and bottom.

Ah ok - was curious.

I need the whole spring/shock combo anyway.
