    4th gen coilovers on our cars?

    I think I heard this once and just wanted to confirm it. Will 4th gen coilovers work on 3rd gens? Thanks.

    But Yasu, didn't you find out that you couldn't lower then as much as you wanted to?

    the ractives are listed as 90-97, if they work for sure then I'm left wondering if any listed 90-97 sets will work. I can't see what would be different than the Ractives in the 90-97 range that would make them work and others not. Anyway, comments would be good.

    Yes any of them will work. But their seams to be a issue for those that want to slam their cars with them as to how low they will drop to. Since you'd be using something ment for another model year the manufactuer can't tell you if that's the case or not on a totally different car.

    Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned that. But the lowest height I can go is too low for everyday use so that shouldn't be an issue for most people. I just wanted to take pics totally slammed and then raise it back up.
