Differences between sport and non sport suspension

[Wests Renault]

Following on from my previous threads about widetrack conversion on the DCI.

I need to know whether the coilovers from my 172 will fit the DCI. I know the fronts will fit fine as I will be using all the 172 running gear (wishbones, driveshafts, hubs etc etc). However will the spring rates be OK with the DCI engine instead of the F4R engine?

Will the rear shocks and springs fit on the DCI ok? I know the front bolt spacing is different but wasn't sure about the rears?

I.e. what I need to know is will the coily's from the 172 fit the DCI or do I need a different setup?

Thanks

Tom

thanks fred

are the springs rates roughly the same too?

People have done it before on 1.2's so I wouldn't see the problem, surely the DCi is heavier.

would have thought the DCI engine weighs approx the same as an F4R
