    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    does anyone know what parts are different... is it just different shocks and springs... or is there more involved here??

    basically im buying someones sport suspension from this forum, he is getting c/o's put on, so they will be taking off his springs and shocks obviously... but are their any other parts in the sport suspension, that is different on the stock suspension that i would need?? when he gets the c/o's put on, will they take off everything that i need??

    sorry if the question is dumb, but i dont shit about suspension

    no. just switch out the shocks/springs and you will be good to go.

    The rest of the parts needed (rubber bits, etc) can be used out of your existing suspension, so just the shocks 'n springs are OK

    The bump stops on the sport suspension are shorter than stock suspension. Either buy new bumpstops or have your installer cut down the existing ones.

    Other differences (not necessarily applicable to what you're trying to do) include larger rear sway and reinforced tower strut brace
