I just discovered the problem with the rear struts. The brace that holds the
brake line onto the strut is in a different position. The position was going
to interfear with the travel of the suspension. It would run into the
chassis. So off came the springs and done a swap. It looked like the rear
shocks had been replace just recently. In the front there was about half an
inch difference in the lower part of the strut. Al the brackets wear in the
same position so in went the lot. I took it for a whell alinment this
morning and it will need a camber kit to make it handle better. It is set up
at the moment so the tyre does not chew out. With the camber kit they can
change the chamber as we all know but they say they cay get even better tyre
wear.

> Doug, that won't be a problem at all. I had kings lowered springs
in my LX liberty that were also the RS items. When i converted the
car to AWD i changed the rear struts to proper RS KYB struts, and the
springs fit just fine. The only difference between the FWD and the
AWD struts other than dampening are that the AWD ones have the spring
cup set lower on the strut. (i compared them when i had the new and
old ones)
So in otherwords, go for it, shouldn't be a problem.

lowered on King Springs and KYB shocks. This was done at Christmas
and I would like to fit them to my RS. Is this possible. Any answer
will be geatly appreciated. I know that the front springs will fit
but that is all I can confirm. The rest is a mystery. I was also told
when I got my rear springs that they were RS items. (the bigger of
the two in dia). The shocks have a different code but I was thinking
it was because it was a different model. I need an answer as soon as
possible so that I can sell the GX to pay for its lown. It is for
sale if any body is interested. Burgandy in color. If your in the
area send me an e-mail at Doug@v...
