is there any difference in the different models suspensions?!

i have a sport at the minute (1.4 16v) but am changing to a 1.4 8v in a few days - will the suspension just be a straight swap over (shocks i mean) or will there be problems?!

i dont want to have to take the springs off the shocks as its a timely job so was wondering if i could just swap the shocks with the springs on - if i have to swap springs i will but hopefully it will be ok to just swap the full suspension unit

Many thanks

Jon

just had a look about and the general consensus seems to be a straight swap of the full lot will be fine - can someone just confirm this for me please!!

Cheers,
Jon

Yea, the whole lot is interchangeable - front springs and shocks, rear springs and shocks.

Could even fit the full kit from a Nova if you wanted, although its a bit soft as its designed for lighter weight, but all the same fixings

The suspension is all interchangeable but not all the springs and shocks are the same, they will all fit each other but merit springs and shocks arent the same as GSi for example
