OK i have a t2 that was smashed on the side i took the motor out and put it in my vert. Now i what i wanted to know is can i use my:
RB sway bar, RB springs, tokico blues, and brake calipers from my t2 on my vert? Is there a difference in the brake calipers and pads and all that good stuff? what about my suspension will they all fit with out cutting and stuff? |
You should be able to use everything except the springs.
In fact you should swap the entire driveline: TII motor, trans, driveshaft, rear diff, axles over to the vert. That way it truly will be just like the factory overseas!! |

Not 100% true. I have been using an NA driveline for almost 2 years behind a TII will no ill effects (yet). I have the parts, but if it ins't broke, you get the idea.
But since he has the donor right there, do it!! |

yeah i swapped everything over including the rear end and drive shaft. thanks for the input kind of depressing that the springs will not fit that angers me greatly!
|
i dont know why he told you that you cant use the springs, but the springs are the same for all FC's, tii, na, s4, s5 whatever.
you can use them. |

noob question but what is aas?
|
The bars that we offer for the FC are the same for all models, they will fit onto the vert with no problem. The springs that we offer are intended for each specific application due to the weight differences with each model. If you attempt to install your coupe springs into the vert, the rear of the car may sit too low due to increased weight in the rear of the vert for the soft top.You can always try them to see how they would affect the ride height, but I cannot comment on how it would affect the handling of the car since we have never attempted this swap. |
AAS=Auto Adjust Suspension
And if the springs are the same, why does Racing Beat list seperate lowering springs for convertibles and coupes? Remeber he said they were coming off a TII and going on a vert. I'm guessing the rears are different to take up weight from the top motors and such. |
yeah that is why i was wondering i checked it lastnight and i noticed that but he said i can use the sway bar with no problem thanks for all your help on that. now i need to figure out if i can or should use my t2 brakes on my vert
|
The brakes should be identical. No problem there!!
|
i'd just use the springs, see how it goes.
|
Who knows? It might look good, or it might turn out like those ghetto mini-trucks with the nose in the air. Either way you win!
|
lol its ok i am going to see if i can find some stock shocks and put them on the car and keep the springs sell them off and get the ones made for my vert :(

just try the springs on before you go selling them, it could turn out fine

Just wanted to know if the tII rear axels fit right in, or did you have to change/mod the wheel side of the drive axels? started to mod my n/a to tII driveline but still didnt get the halfshafts yet.
|
They fit either hub, but only their specific differential.
