5th gen suspension on a 6th gen Options

[Joe_1985]

ok so i aquired a complete set of kyb shocks, h&r springs with boots bumpstops and mounts assembled

the rear set up ever thing bolts into place no problem

the front,99% seems to bolt up fine cept the brake hosess.

6th gens are held in with a 12mm skrew and bracket
5th gens are held inplace with a slider type clip, and the hose goes though the opening where the clip sits

ill try to take pics tomarrow

what i will try to do is take a washer that fits the 12mm skrew, put it behind where the hole is and get a correct fitting nut for the skrew as well.

ill post pics up tomarrow

also i noticed the front strut mounts are different, everything lines up fine but the mounts look alot different , but yet everything bolts on fine.

i wont be able to test it out till monday morning because i poped out the cv axles to replace em but im waiting for em to come in still, which will be monday

about the strut mounts: fits because its the same chassis. looks different because one probably supports more weight. that'd be my guess.

some notes after driving on my setup for a bit

if you dont get it alighned you will chew though tires

also, my camber and toe seem to be way off the outsides of my tire wore quickly and i ruined 2 225/45/16s in a month in a half, as of now im on the stock bbs but im going to get a alighnment check today to see if i can getaway with getting some camber bolts

ill post back later on, also sorry i havent gotten pics up yet, cant find my sd card, guess ill get a new one soon
