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.

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
