I think it would fit, given that they're the same platform. BUT...I'd guess that it wouldn't be a very ideal setup. They may have different spring rates/etc. to account for different weights of the cars.

Go go gadget FRPP catalog...

There are some details like the strut mounts. Your better off just getting a suspension kit designed specifically to address these small differences rather than piece-meal something from the earlier 05-09 cars.

They will work without issue, this is commonly done. What's the setup?

The entire Tokico set, struts, shocks, springs, sway arms, etc., my buddy is selling the entire suspension kit for 450.

Take it, the sway bars are really pointless but you could turn around and sell those. Good condition?

The strut mounts have to match the shocks. For shocks intended for 2010 or earlier you need strut mounts for 2010 or earlier and visa versa. If you are using stock style mounts get the GT500 ones the rubber inside is stronger they clunk less and last longer. If you're serious get caster plates.
