i shocks::The rears might be made to work as the lengths are very close but the fronts have completely different lower mounts.
No way to make them interchange.
My understanding is that for the gen ii they went to softer springs, stiffer sway bars and stiffer shock valving than the gen i.
This was done to keep the same handling levels but provide better ride quality.
All of the aftermarket shocks have the same part numbers for all years.
Was also looking at the tbird shocks.
Heavier car than the ls with different springs, but the shocks all carry the same part numbers as the ls.
Any info on the changes to the platform between gen i and gen ii?
