So what doesn't fit? Anyone have pics of an attempted install? I know recently the task of replace the rear sub frame or whatever from the GK was talked about by Red in order to accomplish a full 4 to 5 Lug swap. But pertaining just to the actual coilovers, do the top mounts bolt up? I'm trying to find out what would be needed to swap in a set of Teins or other higher end parts to the RD. I'm trying to set up a test install with Megan right now since they all the sudden seem to have a set of coilovers for the GKs? So let me know if you've tried to mount a set of GK struts or other suspension parts, and what the hang ups were. Thanks all!

i know you are talking about the coilovers but....
GK and RD struts are different... WAY different. the spring seat is a lot bigger on the GK. on the front ones, the sway bar link tab near the spring seat and the rear ones look similar but the spring seat is bigger too. last but not least.. the strut mount is nowhere near close to fit.
a couple months ago, i installed some H&R springs and KYB struts for a buddy with GK ... i took a good look at it. wink1.gif
