Title: 2003 suspension
Post by: spyderman on March 30, 2005, 04:42
i was wondering,

im about to buy a LHD 2003 suspension (shocks,springs) from a fellow spyderchat member.

my car is a 2000 RHD J-Spec import.

is there any chance that his suspension will not fit mine?

thanks....

I can't think why there would be any difference.  I'll check on the US parts database.

There are slight differences, things like spring rates were tweaked at that time, and I think (but I might be wrong) that there was a small change in the spring platforms on the rear struts, but assuming you intend to bolt on the entire strut and spring assembly, it should bolt up with no problems at all.

yeah, i think it should be o.k, what worries me is if there a difference in the year of make as well, since my 2000 suspension was designed for 15inch rears and no braces, and the 2003 was designed for 16inch rears and chassis braces.

anyways, i think it should be ok though.....
