GST Coilovers on a GSX


I tried to do a search but it doesn't really find the answers to my questions.
I have a set of adjustable coilovers for a 2G FWD that was given to me w/the car. I was thinking of installing on them on my 2g awd and wanted to know what are the disadvantages of having fwd coilovers on a 2g awd...I've heard that the rear might be too soft but it would work.

I know for a fact that Tein Flexes are the same part number for the GSX and GST.
In fact, I've ran the Tein's on my GSX but they were bought for my late GST.
IMHO, the flexes are way to rough on the road on a GST, but on a GSX, it is really an awesome ride.
In order to answer your questions better, we need to know what brand adjustable coilovers you have.
As far as everything mounting up, they are a direct fit.

Thanks for you answer. I really wish I could tell you what brand that the coilovers are but am unsure. I'll have a picture of them up later tonight and maybe that would help, but you said the Tein's on the GSX more smooth of a better ride?
