GpVR vs GPX Suspension Question

Postby Kace » Mon May 26, 2008 12:22 pm

Guys,

anyone know what the main differences are between the GPX and GpVR suspensions ?
Was just looking at front droplinks on Camskill and the GpVR ones are a lot shorter than the standard GPX ones

This got me to thinking - if your suspension is lowered, will the standard GPX droplinks listed above still fit ?

Different 'sport' shocks and lower springs on the GPvR (and a struct brace of course). I've fitted standard lenght front links to lowered suspension and shortened links to the rear on a GPX. The rear (shortened links) will fit the GPvR and GPX\GX on lowered suspension. The front links for the GPvR bolt to the ARB at a right angle, as such, they are incompatible with other models.
