    Default MX83-RA65 Suspension Similarities

    Hello all. I am wondering how similar are the RA65 suspension and the MX83 suspension is. I know coilovers can be made to work in the RA65 that are designed for the MX83, but can standard springs be swapped over without a lot of modifications? My mate has some lowered MX83 springs I can have as he's going coilovers. Thanks.

    According to the kings catalogue http://www.kingsprings.com/catalogue..._catalogue.pdf
    the springs have a different part number so i have the feeling you might have a bit of difficulty with this swap.
    it may be as simple as just needing to get his strut top aswell or the bottom spring perch might need to be changed.
    If you were going to change the bottom perch you may aswell just go coilovers, Could be handy information to know so keep us posted

    Cheers,
