    Default RA40 to RA28 suspension, will it work?

    hey guys!
    i wanted to know if my brand new pedders sport springs and shocks from my RA40 will bolt into my RA28?
    i have lost my licence for 2 weeks so my car will be off the road and i was thinking of swapping my brand new suspension and exhaust from my old RA40 to my new RA28 if possible. does anybody know if this will work?

    thanks heaps,
    Kenno

    and while im at it, can someone please confirm for me that the exhaust will also bolt straight on considering it is 18RC to 18RC?
    thanks,

    Exhaust manifold will bolt on, system will be too long as RA40 are much bigger cars.

    I think the best idea is to take the struts out and do a bit of measuring.These things are always GREY areas and the only way to get confirmation is to do it the good old way.Side by side comparison.
    It should only take 20 minutes to do,three bolts on top and two on the bottom then disconect the brake line and out it comes all in one unit. If you loosen off the sway bar a bit it is relly easy.
