Default Are coilovers for 1st gen gs the same???
As the title states i was wondering if the first gen gs had the same suspension as us. I see online some coilovers that just say 98-05 gs... and then there are some that say 93-05 gs. So im just curious as to which is correct. Or could all the coilovers fit both 1st and 2nd gen gs

No, they are vehicle specific just like all automotive parts.

The are similar, they would work however slight length differences might be evident. However the rears are completely different and would not even come close to working.
