What 4th gen suspension parts swap onto the TTA (GTA) ?! ---

I thought I read somewhere that some of the 4th gen suspension parts swap onto the TTA's (GTA suspension for the most part besides the front struts).

I have an adj panhard rod, lower control arms, lca relocation brackets, and a bmr adjustable torque arm (for a 6 speed if that matters) on my 96'z28 that I am about to sell.

The springs and shocks are different right? ( I have coilovers, a strut brace, and bilsteins too)

If I can swap off the parts I would love to ... thanks for the help ---

they have nothing stock that you can swap to your car that would benifit you over what you already have on the car.

the only parts that swap are the rear springs and sway bar, the rear axle, the rear shocks, rear control arms and panhard bar. Nothing in the front will swap over.

You can swap all of that stuff on. I'm not certain about the torque arm though. The tranny mount end might be different, but I doubt it. If so, just use the TTA torque arm.

That way you can save your adjustable stuff & sell the 96 with stock style parts. Older, but the same.

Is your LCARBs bolt on? If so, take them off the 96 & put them on the TTA, or sell them.

Yes on the rear control arms, relocation brakets, springs, shocks, panhard, panhard brace, and sway bar. Only thing is the springs...depending on their stiffness may change ride height/feel a tad. But I doubt it.

Maybe on the torque arm....but pretty sure you can.

Def. no on the sub frame connectors and anything up front.

The TA will swap, but is heavier than the 3rd gen version as it has the mount for the multi-section driveshaft (V6 cars) and just as flimsy
