hawlass Silver Donating Members 1,161 Member For: 17y 15d Gender: Male Location: left right out Posted 16/06/14 07:53 AM Share Posted 16/06/14 07:53 AM Reviving the thread once more, I have the factory shocks and springs out of my BF2, and a bloke wants to put the fronts into his ba wagon.I understand the rears were different from ba to bf2, but as his is a wagon he will use lowering blocks for the rear, just needs fronts.So the question is , will they fit? , if not shocks and coils, will just the shocks with aftermarket coils fit?

So If you put the complete shock and spring assembly in, it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measure from the bottom bolt where the strut bolts to the lower control arm. The distance from that bolt up to the spring seat will either be 205mm or 255mm (give or take a few mm)The 205mm measurement means BA and BF1, the 255mm measurement means BF2 strut. So the shorter measurement is Early, longer is Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
