    Default Will front springs to suit a VT shock fit in a factory VR shock?

    As above... got a set of Kings springs sitting in the garage gathering dust, from back when I owned my VT.

    Just curious to know if I can use them in the VR, before I go pulling the car apart.

    From what I've heard and I'm only taking it as gospel at the moment, they can be used - but I just want to be certain.

    Thanks.

    Also, IRS rear springs between the VR and the VT are the same too yeah? Pretty sure they are...

    I knew VP-VR was different (well, VN and VR), as the VN has the ball joint at the bottom of the shock.

    Getting a set of VX2 FE2 struts in the next few days, going to whack them and a full set of Kings SL's into the VR and see if it makes it a much nicer car to drive.
