Hi all,

Just wondering is anyone can confirm that all four springs off a 3rd Gen magna fit directly onto a 2nd gen. I'm aware that the rears will fit directly, so i'm more concerned with the front set.

Any assistance?

Thanks,

I was under the impression that Peter_Pan had 2nd get front springs with 3rd gen rears?

Fronts are the same

Rears are different but are actually better suited in the 2nd Gen,

Had them in my KR

So I'll have to change my rear shocks if I want 3rd gen springs in the rear?

sorry i might have phrased that incorrectly, 3rd gen rear shocks dont fit in second gens, your current ones are fine!

CONCLUSION; all four 3rd Gen magna springs will fit on a 2nd gen magna. conclusion for search button purposes.

Yeah, We have a beam axle while 3rd gens are IRS, so different rear "damper" (just for you mal:P)
Good information to know now!!!! Now this solves the lack of superlow rears for 2nd gens!

Thanks Tuffy...

The "damper" in the third gen has a larger lower eyelett where the stud goes through. Aside from that you could actually fit them if need be. I have done this once when we needed to raise a Magna (dont ask) using a sleeve, was not something that would be done for any benefit other than to raise the car and have good suspension travel
