Default Suspension between DA and DC ?

Can someone use Eibach springs made for a DA chassis on a DC chassis ? Does anyone know what the differences are between the suspension of the two ?

The components are not really interchangable, but you can get them to work.

To use springs off a DC or an EG you will need the front struts and front drop forks.

The diameter of the DC strut is larger so it wont fit in your DA fork. The perches
on the DA and DC front struts are at different heights. In the rear you can use
either the DA or DC strut.

Theres a write up on g2ic that explains this in detail.

In short, its not really worth it, they are totaly two different chassis... It's hard to
determine what a 2" DC drop will look like on a DA. Or vice - versa.

I've had some EG suspension components on my DA, but its sorta hit or miss. You
basically try it and see what it does.

what about using DC shocks specifically on the rear of the DA...b/c they don't make DA specific KYB AGX shocks so i was wondering if we could use the KYB for the DC....?

They will bolt up, but I can't verify that the perch
height is the same. I'm pretty sure it is.

Then there is the problem of the two cars having different weights.
