R53 KW var 2 on R56

Hi guys,

I have a small question concerning the KW var 2 set,
Will the version for a r53 fit a r56, or are (several) modifications needed?

Thanks.

It certainly has been asked before, but I can't find it

I think I got it:
It can be done, but you will need special "spacers" for the rear, and different swaybar-linkages (?) in the front.

In order to fit the R53 coilovers on a R56 your going to need our rear shock bushings and modified drop links for the front sway bar.

The shock bushings are the second item on the page.
