Im looking to get some suspension, I really want the Tein Typeflex, but didnt wanna waste my money on that before I do the AWD conversion, I was gonna just pick up the Tokicco/ Pro-line combo for now and after I do the awd conversion just get the Tein then. But Ive been looking around to see if the AWD and the FWD strut assembly were the same, and couldnt find anything, I now the spring rating is differen, so I would be getting the awd springs anyways do to the fact I have a spyder, but all I wanna know is if the the AWD struts will bolt up. Also when I looked them up on the Tein website the FWD and the AWD had the same part number, just wanted to make sure they will fit before I get them. Thanks
 
The fronts are identical but i believe the shock body is overall longer on the awd than the 2wd. This may be a hinderance to any future plans you may have to lowering the car.


Some companies make different shocks for each model but I beleive koni just makes gst shocks for the FWD and AWD model.

hmmmmm, because on the Tein website it has the AWD and FWD struts with the same part number. I'll have to give them a call. Thanks
