VT front Suspension Struts into My VN

Doctor Sodways · #1 20-12-2005, 09:41 PM

I was standing at my mates crash shop the other day discussing his most recent car aquisition and the modifications that were planned, we began talking suspension and i quickly noticed that he had quite a few VT's in and around the shop, some being wrecked, some being repaired. Enquiring as to the the availability of the front suspension made me think, can i get them into my car?

So, can i get the front suspension set up, from a VT into My VN, i want the brakes and the whole lot, sealed bearings to tops if possible, just to save the whole brake conversion bit, and if i can, will the front springs i have in my possesion to dump the VN, fit into the VT suspension (front only)?

I did a search, but couldnt find the right answer

Cheers

In short, VT to VN = NO. VS to VN = Possibly yes with slight mods ( VS strut and bearings with VN spring and VN strut top )
If you use the VS strut you can bolt the VT caliper directly to it and buy VT rotors from DBA with a VS sized centre bore hole for correct fit.
The VS set up is what I'm looking into for my VN. I've heard of the VS set up on a VK race car. The suspension geometry on the VK is no good for street driving but well suited to the race track. On a VN there shouldn't be any real trouble.
