5 doors people are a better class of owners
I'm running a few SWB parts on my LWB.
Only real disadvantage is ramp over is not as good as a SWB.

Just a quick one... I was hoping to buy a 3 door but a good looking 5 door has come up.... Is ther much difference as far as modifying it goes? Same suspension? Same engine? Same wheels/brakes? Will 3 door front and rear bull bars of the same year fit it? Etc...... Thanks guys |

Is it a 1.6? 1.6 LWB front brakes are ventilated and are an upgrade over SWB brakes. Axles/suspension is the same. There's effectively 100% parts interchangeability except the obvious (doors, driveshaft etc) 2.0V6 are a bit of a different monster, but most of the major parts will still swap. My preference would be a LWB as they climb better, are more practical, and handle much better. Steve. |

The big advantage of a 94lwb is that it's EFI/power steer. That's worth any perceived disadvantage of the longer wheelbase. (Not that I think the wheelbase is a disadvantage at all) Steve. |
