    Hey fellas, Long time no talkies.
    Well I have a question about IRS and Non-IRS. Lets say I have a Series 2 VN NON-IRS and I wish to replace the FRONT springs and shocks with a pair of Superlows with Shortened Shocks which came from an VP CALAIS with IRS. Can this be done succesfully?

    I'm pretty sure the front struts are the same. Not 100% though.

    none
    fronts are same,

    as i found out

    VN-VP fronts are cross compadible and
    VR-VS fronts are cross compadible
    VN-VS rear NON IRS are cross compadible

    not sure about IRS compadibility
    but yeah

    super lows on vs rears sit lower than a vn due to the weight, a vn should be dumped on ultra rears and super fronts and a vs on supers all round
