4th Gen Springs on a 3rd Gen Car?
Hi,
I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything through the search engine. So, will fourth gen' lowering springs fit a third gen and, if so, is there any modification or strut replacement required?

Re: 4th Gen Springs on a 3rd Gen Car?
the rear springs are probably close enough to work. The front suspension is not the same 3rd gen to 4th gen so my guess would be no. Why would you want to do this anyway?

I want to lower the suspension on my Formula. Parts in England are at least double the price you guys pay. There's a set of unwanted fourth gen' springs on Ebay over here and they're cheap, hence my interest.
Thank you for the response, saved me buying some useless springs. Much appreciated.
