TII/NA Spring/shock question!
After an impact with a curb, I'm getting bearing noise from the front...hoping it's not the transmission, it's a speed related bearing noise.
So, I have the ability to grab bits from a '91 coupe for my '91 TII.
The question is:
Can I use (as a temporary solution) the springs/shocks from a NA on my TII?
I'm going to try and swap over EVERYTHING attached to the lower arm, hub, spindle and all. I'm thinking that the front strut may be damaged, the caster is out about half a degree and the camber can't be adjusted into spec on the current bits.
Side question, will the 15" wheels from the coupe fit on the TII?

trying to build a racecar
If the NA you are stealing parts from has the big brakes, then the wheels will fit. I think one of the web pages, like racing beat , or mazda trix, listed the spring rates for various cars. But it should work temporarily. The spring is probably going to be too soft, making for some wierd handling.
Good luck
Good luck

I'm hoping to keep the pads/rotors that I have now, they're in pretty good shape with plenty of life on em.
