v8 sti springs and struts on gc8?
I've got a get of 2004 sti springs and struts and was wondering iw they fit on a gc8. I know that the brake lines connect different but do they fit pretty good?
the car I would put them on is a 2000 rs coupe.

I wouldn't do it honestly, but if you use the rear strut mounts it will work

the cars have totally different geometry, and vastly different weights. You would be best off getting the suspension designed for your chassis.

Adam, can you get Prodrive World Rally Sport setups? Nobody's topped that combo yet for daily driver/autocross setups.
