No, the fronts aren't the same, the rears are though.

The 4wd uprights have the shocks mounts higher up, to clear the front driveshafts. So the shock bodies are shorter.

Plus the front spring rates are higher to handle the extra 180 kgs in the 4wd's.

The Stagea section is always better for Stagea specific questions.

The sticky "Stagea Suspension" answers most suspension questions.

Like R32/33/34's Stageas don't have struts, they are double wishbone. So they have spring/shock units in a coil over layout.

Shock wise, the same dimensions yes, but same valving no.

Spring wise, same dimensions on the front and similar rate. The rear has totally different dimensions and the spring rate is different.

So if I got a pair of R33gtst coilovers for front, and S15 coilovers for the back with harder spring rates. Gary does the Stagea RS 2WD have the same sway bars as the RS4??

Only just bought my Stagea 3 days ago, so I'm only new..Sorry

So if I got a pair of R33gtst coilovers for front

They will fit OK.

S15 coilovers for the back with harder spring rates

Nope they won't fit, the S14/15 rear springs are the same dimensions as the R33's. The Stagea springs and tops are different, smaller, to make the load space larger.

Nope

If you are serious about getting your Stagea to handle without destroying the ride comfort I suggest you try the Group Buy thread in the Stagea section, it has lots of responses from Stagea owners.

Gary have you heard anything about ISC coilovers. They are used in drift cars in the Australian circuit.

You'll also read what people do with them once they replace them.

No the 2wd swaybars are different diameters to the 4wd bars and different shapes. Plus the Group Buy bars are unique to Jamex (they paid for the enginering), they are often in unique sizes and have extra adjustment. We don't make them for anyone else, the swaybars we make for Whiteline are their standard catalogue line. Bars ordered today are shipped tomorrow, orders over $500 are freight free to anywhere in Australia. PM me for further details.

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves added (they have 2 grooves standard) so you can set the height you want before you fit them. There are 6 grooves 8 mm apart and I can tell you the height that you will get from each groove.

Cheers
