Suspension compatibility across the variants

[Yaz]

Hi Eric, what about the rear shocks?

[irishs2]

The rear shocks have a different part number but that doesnt mean they are different.
Coupe rear shock 895513031D vs vs Cab rear shock 8G0513031C

As above.

Sorry Eric, you already said that...

OT a bit, but 8G0 parts are very handy as sometimes (ha! sometimes) parts for the S2 are NLA but some parts on the cab are identical but start with 8G0, thats what I mean that the part no is different but the part might not be.

Very useful info, thanks Eric.

Cab and coupe rears are different. The shock insert is about 4" longer on a coupe to cab. They can be made to fit with spacers however it's a little ghetto

i dont have cab but i have found that the s2 coupe and the 80 16vq have many parts the same in the suspension regions. cant help on 2wd rear though

other than the 4 and 5 stud differences and cv sizes my 16v has exactly the same rear as the s2 coupe.

16v springs are same size as s2 physically. abs sensors the same...

i have a set of hr 2wd springs if measurements would help here. new, unused for sale also.
