Suspension Help

My setup is in the sig but i am thinking about selling the 2nd gen to fund a few new things for the 1st gen... i have 4000 worth of suspension in my second gen that i am kinda not willing to part with.. well i dont really care about the springs.. i just want the shocks mainly.. is it possible to keep my current shocks? any help would be great!!

Nothing'll match up..... IRS on the second gen uses different EVERYTHING than the first gen, and the front end is completely different in it's setup as well... so, I think Felix's answer pretty much sums it up...

Sorry....

just sell the second gen for more

Sure you could completely redesign the entire suspension on the first gen and use the second gen parts. It should not cost you more than $20,000 or $30,000.

Anything is possible if you are willing to spend enough - practical is a different matter.
