GDB struts in a BC/BF

Post by MY92 »

Does anyone know if they will fit?

I've "heard" the fronts will fit, but for the rears you have to use BC/BF top hats.

Only struts? Then the rears will work.

The front uses a different spring diameter, therefore you need different springs and upper spring perch.

The strut top mounts are all the same on the front. The rear strut top mount out of a GD will not fit our chassis.

Ok to clairfy.

If I use a complete strut/spring out of a GD it will fit up front.

On the rear however I will need to change the top mount.
