    will struts from 16v fit 3B?

    anybody know if the struts and nice red lowering springs on my 2.0 16v (93) will swap over onto my 3B S2?
    cheers

      Nope. Actually you probobly could fit the 16v front struts to an S2 but you dont want to, S2 has larger dia front shocks. Springs should fit but there probobly too soft for an S2.

        It probably all fits OK, but as Mark says - you wouldn't end up with suspenders as good as the S2. The 3B and ABY Coupes have specific spring & damper combination. A 2.0l 16V running sports suspension has something similar but slightly softer.

          cheers lads. that saves an embarrassing moment as the best part of a year's work careers sideways off a road with a somewhat upset Noel at the wheel. Looks like i'll have to spend my son's savings on new spangly gear then. thinking about the future's overrated anyway.
