AWD to FWD Conversions?


Above is the example photo rear suspension of a Honda Fit GD2 AWD.

I have a 2005 Honda Fit GD2 AWD JDM Model. Its a 1.3L i-DSI L13A Engine. I just bought this car from previous owner for cheap bucks. This car is quite rare in my country which i live in (Brunei Darussalam) which is situated in South East Asia.

Here is my problem,
I bought the KYB Brand new rear shock absorber for the Honda Fit GD Model. My rear shock absorber wasn't working as it drove... It feels very stiff and very hard at the back so i try to change the OEM Springs to much higher sport springs. The problem is still there as my rear height of my car is raised by 5 fingers which is not normal for the usual Honda Fit out there...

Is it possible for me to convert my whole Rear AWD Suspension which has independent axle and differential at the centre to FWD Suspension from a 1/2 cut Honda Fit which is the whole suspension of the regular Honda Fit GD1 model?

Interesting seeing the rear-drive, I wondered why those two rear mounts were so chunky on my FWD Fit...
