I was looking around searching couldn't find my answers, I'm new to the verts and wasn't sure if there was any difference to their suspension setup to a hatch or coupe, so for example...can I use a set of KTS coilvers from a hatch for my vert?
any input would be great thanks.
Vert's suspension specs??

Re: Vert's suspension specs?? (s14sleepyeyez)
Yeah the suspension should all be identical and fit just the same on the 'vert as they do on coupes or hatchbacks.
However, I do remember reading that you might need to trim something just a tad to get the rears to fit. 94_240sx was saying something about that.

I've swapped out my stock struts and Tein coilovers to my vert. Never had a problem with anything at all. Bolted right in!

What brand were/are you using? I don't have this problem with my Tein. Then again, there is not a separate adjustment tool required to adjust dampening. The EDFC unit however will not fit because of the top.

I just have springs/shocks, but have heard of D2/megan/stance(?) that don't have the room for the dampner adjuster knob on the top unless you cut out a little on each side.jspec603 wrote:

Re: (-RJ-)
I've got Endura Tech coilovers and they have a removable adjustment knob for setting the dampening. I had to trim the bracing above the coils just to get them to fit. If I want to adjust the dampening, I'll have to raise the car and drop the coils from the towers.
