shortysayhi Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Any gl for the struts, but you want the COILS off of a sedan since they are shorter then the wagon ones. you can get new monroes front and rear, they cost about 90 a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing your going to have to do is make sure you disconnect the air compressor in left fender well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortysayhi Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I did this swap a couple weeks ago and it's really nice! I used all new stuff besides coils since you cant get new coils. Deffinetly should get an alignment after the swap tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortysayhi Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 your not looking hard enough. napa has them too. the sedan coils are shorter then wagon (gl) if your looking for more rally then use wagon. i mean they aren't DRASTICALLY different heights but its noticeable, the ride hight will also be higher then how the car sits with air suspension.
