964 Suspension differences
Hello all,
Does anyone know what the suspension differences are between the 89-90 model years and the later cars ? KW list a different suspension kit for the two and I'm wondering if the coilovers from my 93 car will fit my 90 car and vice-versa.
TIA.

Talat,
The rear top mounts are different. I believe the later cars used a slightly longer shaft. Page 236 of Adrian's book shows you the detail.
The chances are that the rear shocks from the later car will not fit the early car.

Dave

Dave's right. On my early car the KW kit came with new top mounts to make the rear coilovers fit. Maybe you can just get the KW top mounts to adapt them to fit the rear? However, that would put you between a rock and a hard place because the standard rear suspension on the early car couldn't be fitted to the 93 car. If I was in your shoes I'd leave your 93 as it is and get a new KW kit for the early car. And since the early car is mostly for track, it might be worth going for KW clubsport rather than V3.

Cheers chaps I'll give the Bilstein/H&R Green setup that is currently on the car a chance then (probably at the PCGB Oulton day at the end of the year).
Steve, do you know what the differences are between the V3 and Clubsport setup ? O/T but I'll be wheeling out the Celeb for one last track day - you coming to the PCGB one at Silverstone in July ?
Cheers,
