I can get a coily front end with everthing (radius arms, brake rotors, pads, new shocks and springs etc) minus the centre for $150, but i have a 90 model wt sierra (leaf sprung) my cv's are starting to click so i was wondering if the coily model cv's and axles will fit ?

Also do you think this is a good buy ?

Plus im thinking about converting to coils so the other parts might come in handy :D

it's an awesome price, but they are not interchangeable and would not be a good option for a coil swap.

Coil sierra front suspension is garbage. There's nothing good about it.

by the time you work all the bugs out there'd be nothing left of the coil sierra geometry or bracketry.

Shocks too short/small. Springs too small diameter. Radius arms too short/weak. Arms hang under the chassis hurting clearance. All the bracketry is weak. runs unique knuckles, hubs etc. No gears or useful lockers.

If you really want to start with a suzuki coil front end as the basis for a conversion, start with a jimny. It's not perfect, but it's a huge improvement over the coil sierra.

BUY IT and sell all the parts seperately.. You'll make enough to buy CrMo WT leafy axles.
