Default Classic coilovers on a newage wagon?

Hi all,

Was looking for coilovers as my rear shocks have gone on my 04 wagon.
I've found a set off brand new meisterR zetaCRD on Facebook, for £650.

They are 5x100, would I have any glaring issues with install?

Cheers
Nick

I wouldn't suggest it, the classic is already lighter and putting suspension for a car that is heavier wouldn't do so good to the handling especially on a wagon that has even more rear weight than the sedan.

Aside from that the rear top mounts are not the same, you will need to swap them out for newage ones or modify the mounting holes slightly according to other forums. Also I think there is differences in the length of the rear shocks but that could be addressed by the height adjust depending on how the coil overs are designed.

All in all it will take some effort the get them fit correctly. Wont be plug and play.

Thanks mate, decided not to go down that route, ordered some Tein flex z today instead - cheers for the reply
