Default Sierra donor suspension
Sorry to bother you all, but does anybody know if the sierra donor car suspension fit the mx5 build at all please ? I want to use them if possible, as I have a possibility of getting some a little cheaper than list price. Any help would be really appreciated !

Assuming you mean the shocks and springs, the fronts may fit but the rears are a lot shorter on the MX5 build.

Cheers

Sierra donor suspension wont fit even a sierra built roadster both sierra and mx5 builds both use coilovers

Mx5 rear coilover slightly shorter than sierra rear but both use the same fronts

Hope that helps

if it's cheap you could adapt the top rear shock mount to suit.

I can't find the specs just now, but I know I've posted them up more than once before.
