JDM coilovers vs. USDM coilovers
 
I need to know if anyone can give me any information regarding the differences between JDM coilovers and the USDM GD3.

I need to know if there are any differences in bolt sizes etc. etc.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The jdm front strut that bolts to the hub assembly are smaller than usdm.
Other then spring rates, I think those are the only differences.

I was told it was the rear bolt, and its only the rear shock bolt thats a different size.
Its smaller.

DO A SEARCH, CHRIS!

OK 1hrs up:p:wavey:..

The part # crossed and they are the same bolt in the rear.. so you`ll be fine.. you`ll just have to modify the fronts:popc:

the difference is the bolt size. youll have to drill the front holes to 14mm and in the rear you will have to use a washer or to to space the shock and the rear H beam. the opening is larger in the usdm so youll need a couple washers, but the bolt is fine.

I just installed my Mugen SS

Hey Mike,

PM me if you might be interested in another custom coilover setup.
