I have a friend in Cali with a brand new in the box set of Koni shocks for a 79-80 rex . He is willing to let me have them cheap , if they will work on my 84 gs .

So my question is ...

Is the 79-80 suspension interchangeable with the 81-85 or is there some radical retrofitting needed to fit them in there.

rears are the same but the fronts are different. not sure what exactly is different though.

fronts on an sa are shorter. you can use them if you get the front strut monts off of an sa.

You will find the 79-80 inserts are actually longer than the later models.

they were shortened to allow more downward suspension travel before bottoming out.

some brands of insert have a metal spacer(10mm i think) tack welded onto the bottom of the 79-80 type... if this is the case with the koni's , you only have to remove the spacer to make it fit the later model struts.

see if you can get a pic of the inserts
