SW20 suspension in an AW11?

Postby Crown » Wed May 04, 2011 8:52 am

Does anyone know if sw20 shocks will fit an aw11?
The fronts look the same but I cant find a pic of any aw11 rears.

The rears fit (I think you might need facelift rear hub carriers though). From memory you might have to slightly modify one of the bolt holes for the top hat. Unfortunately the SW20 rear struts are longer - I converted some to coilovers and put them in the rear of my car and with them wound down so it was sitting on the bump stops the rear was roughly normal height.

Fronts - can't remember what the story is, never tried it.

From what I remember the front or rear are longer than AW11 and jack the car up?


ZZW30 works well with a small amount of slotting of the hub mount and re-drilling of the tophat mounting holes in the body.
