hi guys, i have a vrx, and purchased some coilovers off a 98 diamante, now the set up is soo different, eg no fork in the front like the 98 model, instead my vrx has by the looks of it the same front shock as an evo? 2 bolt bottom of front shock, rears look close enough tho!!, any help would be great.

I'm pretty some Diamantes in NZ were made in AUS and some were of Japanese origin.

Earlier models seem to be jap, later seem all to be aus spec.

Yup as said, Japanese Diamante imports to NZ will use a different suspension setup to the factory delivered Diamantes, which are based on Aus spec.

You need something to fit an Australian Magna or US Diamante.

ok thanks guys, got b.c coilovers, and heard they can custom make lower brakets to fit, iv owned plenty galant and legnum vr4s and the set with them was all the same along with the jap diamantes, when i first saw the vrx suspension it was definantly a head scratcher!! cheers guys!
