Hi all,

I'm sure that I'm about to ask for info I could find if I trawled through the forum, but I reckon it's been talked about so much that it has become almost impossible to find a straight answer.

The basic question is very simple: Do newage wrx wagons have the same suspension setup as classic saloons/wagons?
I'm talking rear lateral arms, arbs and links, front wishbones etc. Are these all interchangeable and/or of the same dimensions?

The main reason I ask is that I'm thinking about swaping my wishbones for alloy ones and while I know that newage saloon ones are wider, is there such a thing as a classic alloy arm which will just fit without having to worry about the arb / trackrod ends / geometry?

I'm thinking specifically of the icp alloy wishbone upgrade for classics. Do these have the same dimensions as standard newage wagon arms?

I've also seen a lot of uprated classic lateral arms kicking about, will these fit my wagon? would save a lot of f##king about with bushes!

Anyway, the wishbones are my main concern.

Thanks
Dave

 

This is on my long list to do to my wagon, so while I can't offer any advice I'm also interested to hear from anyone else who has done this...

classic/newage wagon wishbones are not a direct swap, but with a little ingenuity they can be made to fit apparently
