[sergei]

I don't know for sure if it works for 111 but with 101 SS and non-SS springs are exactly the same....

[phatman3801]

o ok kool, can ne 1 verify that ae111 ss and non ss springs are the same or can be interchanged?

[Mr Revhead]

the rears can be swapped, but i think youll find the fronts on the s/s are shorter.....

i ran into trouble using non superstrut springs in my trueno wn it was s/s
the front stayed the same height and he rear shot way the hell up.
it turned out the platform height on the rear shocks are different

so in my experiance no, they will fit but the heights end up all over the show.

[Mr Revhead]

are you sure? not the other way around?

TRD list the same shocks for the rear for s/s and non s/s, and they can be used with the stock springs. they also list the same springs for the rear, and they can be used with stock shocks..... however they list the springs being unique to s/s cars.....

yeh i'm sure
couldn't really explain why so pedders just had some custom coil springs made for the whole thing. then it was mint.

[Mr Revhead]

well. that is weird


maybe if some one has some struts lying around they could take some measurements of the platform height.

ill be replacing my rears soon so will do that then.......

Back in the days of my AE101 SS i bought some Kings (lows not superlows) from a guy who had them in a non SS, fitted sweet, ride height changed roughly half an inch down in the front and raised the rearhalf an inch from the standdard springs, net effect was indifferent height but a far superior ride, having said that once i put some 17 x 7's on there they nicely filled out the wheel wells, I assumed at the time the SS springs must be (factory) lower then non SS as these King springs should have pulled it down around 35mm and effectively didn't lower it any further...

funny thing is I have SS springs on my non-SS on front and rear, the car is lower apporx 25 mm (front and rear). They are TRUST branded lowering springs for SS. plus I have laying arround front stock SS springs and non SS and they look exactly the same and height is exactly the same...
thats 101 springs.
