Y33 coilovers of F50 or Y34?

Grant's coilovers and post in the buy/sell makes me wonder what it would take to fit some used Y33 coilovers on my F50.

Anyone have experience with both suspensions that can point out some differences?

Is the rear seperate spring/shock on Y33 as well?

Y33 rear is an coil over shock - similar to what most of the late-90s Nissan RWD cars have

Fronts, i gotta admit, look very similar, but i bet its not that easy... I would be expecting that you'd need to swap:

Tension rods
LCAs
Tie rods/rod-ends
Y33 hubs
and fab up the sway bar mount if you are going to do that

i asked the same question to him a few day ago , he is not sure cus he doesn't have a y34 or a f50 ...

This needs to be sloved once and for all ..just a matter who has the time to actually check it out and compare :sad: -- i looked in to it and the dealers tell me that the part numbers are different so NO it will not be a bolt on application ...
