BG Astina vs. 323 GTX 4WD suspension???
ok peps, just trying to find you the difference between the BG astina and the BG 4WD suspensions.
BG / TX3 suspension are the same, just wondering what the differences are for the 4WD versions. i have heard the rear struts are shorter and the top mounts are different. can anyone help please? ryan |

The shocks, springs and top mounts can be easily changed (and probably should be) if you were to adapt the AWD rear to a BG. The thing I'd be concerned about is getting all the right fuel tank gear to clear the rear prop-shaft.

Humph,
Do the bottom mounts on the struts match? If so (and I'd guess that they do) then the shock/spring combo for the BG is designed for the extra weight and length in the ass. If so then don't **** with the GTX combo 'cos it is wrong for your chassis.

yeah i know that, the oils in the shocks and springs can all be adjusted so the chassis problems aren't an issue.
it mounting points that are my main concern. |

OK,
The top plate (where the strut mounts to the chassis) has a hole in the middle where the shock bolts on. A drill and/or washers can/will make the BG GTX compatable with the BG Astina, else you have answered your own post. Quote:
