    Springs for 3B and ABY - HELP

    Are the suspension springs for the 3B and ABY Coupés identical?

    I need new springs and can only find ABY springs for the S2. Will those fit my 91 S2 with the 3B motor?

    I believe it comes down to the front axle weight. eg aby has heavier gearbox some have a/c etc..

      IIRC,they're the same ABY 3B. It's whether the car has AC or not that denotes a change to the front springs only but TBH, it won't be much of a difference, as the AC doesn't weigh much more than 20-30kg.

      I'll check later on for sure.

        I agree, same springs, but two versions with and without AC.

          Thanks for the input. I have discovered that finding aftermarket springs for the 3B is well nigh impossible. If you read the seller specs, they only specify the later model S2s with the ABY motor.

          My main concern was whether the springs would fit mechanically. I gather from what has been said that they will. THANKS.
