2.8 pre facelift suspension

[id101]

Hi all,

Would I be able to fit the 2.2 sport suspension on my 2.8 pre facelift widebody?

If so, would it give a slight lowering affect but keep a nicer feel than going a full lowering route? As currently my stock suspension is very high but with the state of the roads I'm thinking lowering might be too much

Swapping over the shocks and springs will be fine.

You'll be better off buying new shocks and using the 2.2 springs to get the 10mm ride height reduction.

So find the OEM shock for those springs?

Yeah OEM shocks are good for a max of 30mm drop from stock height. The Sport spring is only 20mm.

Hello,

You can use your existing shock absorbers front and rear if they are in good condition, it is the springs that determine the ride height not the shocks.
If you decide to change to the 2.2 sport springs it is advisable to change front and rear top mounts at the same time.

Those springs don't still have part number tags on do they?
