AWD Suspension on FWD Non-Spyder

[steeda763]

Out of curiosity, will AWD suspension work effectively on a FWD Turbo Coupe?

I searched for this and came up with swapping AWD suspension to a Spyder, which is similar in weight, but couldn't find an answer for FWD Coupes, though I'm assuming that it will work.

Better yet, my GST Beater came with blown shocks and cut springs -- tell me that I'd be better off with the AWD equipment. Lol

no. even if you got it to work the spring rates are different you wouldnt like it.

It works. I have D2 Coilovers for a AWD GSX on my FWD GST Spyder. Nice ride too

Thank you guys. The reason I'm asking is because I have access to an AWD setup with Suspension Techniques springs for relatively little money. It'll sure beat my current setup without a doubt!
