F50 Rear Aftermarket Suspension Help!

It looks to me as if the Z33 stuff is interchangeable as far as the arms and such.Can anyone confirm this before I order some parts?

can be yes.. the rear lower arm is different, its not steel its aluminum, I am thinking about changing to this since it reduces the weight of the suspension drastically. I do know the springs are not the same, they are thinner and less coiled but if you were to go with after market setup with stiffer rates it will work fine. Just get shocks made for heavy weighted cars :)

they should, I have not tried. But they do look similar. I think someone else will have to chime in.

Someone from Hawaii used the Megan camber and toe arms from the z33. he had the black k-break f50 that was sold recently.. not sure if he's still on here but i remember he listed that he had to slightly mod it. the weight of the f50 may be a problem with most after market parts for the z33.. those parts weren't meant to bear the bigger load.

I vaguely remember a post about some modifications needed for the Z33 megan arms. It would be well worth it though!
