I was just curious i have a 96 3400 beretta and im slowly putting peices together for a 5-speed swap. Anyway i'm putting on new shocks and springs probably in the next week or two. My question is will the KYB, and eibach's for the 95-96 beretta's work if i switch out the subframe "to the older style to except the 5-speed" andlower control arms "to the style with horazontal rear bushings, to get rid of the vertical ones". Im not excactly sure why they have listed these struts differantly i thought they were all pretty much the same except with the fe7 struts useing a welded on bracket for the sway bar. ANd also will any of these upgrades interfere with adding the fe7 front swaybar? I have the detachable brackets and and swaybar from a 90-91 gtz. sorry for the long post and i hope someone in here could help me out. i'ld hate to buy the wrong parts. oh yeah does anyone know if i'ld be able to adapt the gtz rear swaybar to my car im not sure what rout im going to have to take to tie the rear together. well thanks in advance and again sorry for rambling...

I *think* the front springs are interchangeable regardless. The rear ones are unique to '95-'96.
In order to use the '90-'91 swaybar brackets , you will have to switch your right and left knuckles so the calipers are on the front.

Unless the front knuckles are different from a '92 (I don't know), you can use the '90-'91 GTZ swaybar and brackets in conjunction with rear-mounted calipers. That's the current setup on my '88 GT.

Yes, it all changed in '92.

Heh, sorry I meant to say that unless 1995 steering knuckles are different from 1992, the 1990-1991 FE7 brackets, endlinks, and swaybar will fit. My '88 GT has 1992 knuckles, calipers, pads, lines, and rotors but still uses the 1990-1991 FE7 swaybar setup as shown in the picture. Sorry for the confusion

If I remember right FE7 will not work with a 3400/3100 because of downpipe issues. The best person to ask would be steph
