Suspension Fittings

Postby Muad_dib77 » Wed Mar 21, 2007 8:00 am

I know the KYB front shock that fit the FTO are the same that will fit a volvo something or other (is it s40?) - but does this apply to the rear as well?

Does anybody know if there are other cross make/model fitments?

No, rears are the same as the Colt / Mirage.

Yup. Search the forum for 'S40'

Camskill can advise you best Muad - I bought my KYBs from them - excellent value - circa 25% stiffer - much better handling over the old tired shocks - combine with Apex springs and you won't believe the difference.

the KYBS sold by Camskill are for S40, not exactly the same as fto. you will need to fit camber adjust bolts.

`

I didn't - there is about a degree more negative camber - and IMO an improvement to cornering because of this.
