SS struts to non-ss

Postby scribble » Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:43 pm

Does anyone know if the front and rear struts off a SS AE101 levin will fit on a non-SS AE101 wagon?

SS is front only, so thats a no for the front as SS and non SS are not swappable (within reason)

rears..... maybe interchangable

No SS will not bolt onto non SS.
Rear of SS car is same as non SS but front is different.
So - front SS suspension will not bolt across to non SS.
This is because there is one important bolt on the ss that has nowhere to bolt up to on the non ss body. You would need to cut a hole on the floor and weld in a big captive nut in the right place.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
