    Default Front Strut advice

    Hi Guys
    I have a vp series 2 with abs and FE2 suspension with larger disc rotors (ex cop car ) that has just been smashed by the missus. What i would like to know is i have a vp series 1 wagon STANDARD, would the front struts fit into the wagon and would there be a problem as the wagon isnt abs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards gleno767

    If you're moving the struts into the WAGON, they'll go straight in. You'll have to re-use the old wagon brake discs.

    depends on the rotors- check vin number and brake part catalogues. VP rotors for abs can sometimes correspond to normal rotors. the sizing changed in 1992 for VP V6 rotors

    Hi Guys
    Thanks for the advice and yes the old girl does have abs, limited slip diff and was a great car i had for 14 years before the accident. Nothing like an ex chaser loved and drove it to death, gonna miss it.
    Thanks
