    BG8Z springs and shocks?

    Hey guys

    I have a very quick question that I wanna know ASAP, so if anybody know that will be awesome.

    Here is very very simple question.

    Are BG5S(90-94 323 hatch) and BG8Z(90-94 familia hatch) using same kinds of springs and shocks? like can I use the shocks and springs from BG8Z to my 94 323 BG5S??

    I am going to guess no because the GTR (BG8Z) has different wheel bearings/brakes/spindles etc.

      is the BG8Z the GTR? i thought it was the GTX... if its the GTX then yes the stuff will fit. GTR parts will not.

        Springs should be interchangable on any model, but the struts from a 4wd will not fit a 2wd without modification (iirc the mounting tabs are wider).

          4wd will interchange with 2wd, except for the GTR.

                  Okay guys

                  Here are pictures that I am talking about.

                  Those suspensions are from GTX, and not shown in pictures but comes with upper mounts as well.

                  So do you think guys those will fit my 323??

                        So you meant only coils will fit my car? not shocks?

                        if my car would be little bit higher compare to stock, then it would not be look good i guess....

                        anyone have suggestions for me??
                        I appriciate it guys.

                            My old springs and struts from my 4wd are on my friends MX3 now. So yes 4wd springs struts will interchange with the fwd cars. And the spindles on the 4wd wont fit the fwd.
