32424, Stuts and Springs from GSX??
Posted by shamoo1, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
My friend was at the yard and took all 4 koni shocks and struts off a GSX and he was wondering if i was interested. I didn't think that they would work but im checking just in case.

Springs are all the same as RS/GS/GST, rear struts are different and don't bolt up to the lower suspension without modification. All the dampening rates are the same too.

Why would you want to evenly wet the shocks?

Or do you mean damping?

So with that being said. I have the rear knuckles and vented brakes from a 95 gsx and my stock struts bolted back up. Does that mean the actual aftermarket part is different or what. Would I need suspension for a gsx or a gs rs?
