I have a question about the interchangeability of coilovers between models. eg: will na6 coilovers fit na8 etc
I can see that yellowspeed make a set of coilovers which suit na6, na8 and nb8a.
Then they make a set for nb8b> nc
By this am I right to assume that coilovers off either na6, na8 or nb8a will fit any of these 3 models?

Re: Coilover interchangeability
I took a pair of BCs off an na6 and put them on an nb8b. Now they are on my na8.
I have also put stock nb8b shock assemblies on an na6.

Re: Coilover interchangeability
All coilovers from NA6 through to NB8B will fit each other.
The main differences in stock layouts was height and tophats.
Obviously since coilovers generally use their own tophats that doesnt matter.
And since they're height adjustable that doesnt matter much either (of course the max/mix ground clearance the adjustments allows will differ on NA and NB)
