Re: 33 suspension set ups
I think they will fit it's more springs that are an issue as I'm sure there shorter on the P4 due to the straight axle which they mount too so you would have to cut a lump off anything you bought for a Fwd model just to get it to the standard ride height and even more to get it lower!

Agreed engine needs a good overhaul and detailing my OCD side was going into melt down refiitting it but I guess the customer is always right and said he would do it himself in time , personally I think I might be taking that engine out again at some point in the not to distant future
