Title: Is 8v and 16v suspension the same??
Post by: RSCPK on 07 September 2009, 14:12

Just a quick query. Will shocks and springs from a 16v fit an 8v without any modifications needed??

as above, its not the same but it bolts on. 16v has slightly better setup so in theory should improve it, assuming the 16v stuff is actually 16v stuff :grin:
