Has anyone here transplanted the steering rack or any other suspension stuff from an Autobahn model Aurora?

With the sport tuned suspension stuff for that car, it might tighten up our luxury ride and give a better feel for the road.

Will the Aurora stuff fit our car?

Steering rack I am not sure on but other than that the rest of the suspension parts will likely just fall right in since the chassis' are identical.

Just to give you an example with Oldsman's old Riv

1996 Riviera (car)
for suspension upgrades
1998 Park Ave. Spindles
2000 bonneville sway bars
Cadillac STS springs
1997 Riviera struts
Grand Prix GXP 13 inch 2 piston brakes

Pretty much all these cars are G-bodies except for the Grand prix, but that was just for the brake brackets and calipers. The olds Aurora being an exact G-body I have no doubt that things will just fall right in.

Part Numbers for Springs and Stuff!!

Bilsteins!!

A better strut tower brace!!!

Maybe...

On Edmunds, I saw that the Autobahn edition was a different gear ratio in the tranny and Michelin V rated tires. Maybe they programmed teh speed limiter for the V-rating. Not aware of any other differences...
