possible fit awd coilovers on a Rwd m35?

[Cabo]

My buddy said he would give me his awd coilovers if they would fit my rwd m35...

This will not work properly. Shock bodies are different lengths and design.

Fronts will not work, rears will.

Are you positive because I know someone selling front coilovers for rwd brand new because they shipped him wrong ones. Can I use the red frobt coilovers and the awd rear coilovers

The front shock is completely different on the AWD vs RWD.

Let me rephrase what I said earlier. The coilover package your friend is selling which is for AWD will not completely work on your RWD M35. The reason is the front shock bodies are shorter and the spring rates are higher. The rear coilovers are exactly the same between the RWD and AWD version so you could use 50% of his kit. The issue is you can't buy just the front coilovers so either way you look at it you'll need the entire kit.

Hey Cabo. Was thinking about this and they may work if you can find oem bottom wishbone strut mounts from an AWD. Although the spring rates will be pretty aggressive and make it too bouncy or stiff. I mean if you want to experiment and try them that would likely work.

Hey Cabo, does your friend still have the AWD coilovers? Would he want to sell them?
