I know theres differences, but id like to know the specifics, and if they interchangable with connecting parts from other models.
Base/XR/Cossie rear beam
Base/XR/Cossie front subframe/wishbones etc
Base/XR/Cossie hubs
Base/XR/Cossie shocks/springs (is it only how stiff they are, do they bolt up to any model?)
Base/XR/Cossie rear diff (Apart from no slipper, what else? they all bolt up to all rear beams and props? They all as strong? Ratio differences?)
Base/XR/Cossie (Obv cossie ones far better, but they bolt up to all other models hubs etc or?)
Thankyou please

rwds are quite different to their base model counterparts...
have a look at the cossie tech manuals as they list all the differences... theres a downloadable copy on the derby RSOC webite i think... ask matt or dingy

the rear beam on a 2wd saff cossie is a granada one, the rear arms are cossie only, the abs sensors are granada
shocks and springs are all the same fitment only poundage and damping rates vary
cos diffs are 7.5 inch with slipper, normal is 7 inch i think, no slipper, ratios are vehicle dependant,
all the 2wd cossie stuff will bolt onto any sierra bodyshell

the semi trailing arms are different as 1) they have different bushes in them and 2) the angle of the hub relative to the arm is different to take account of the lowered ride height.
front sub frames are all the same.
cossie arb's will bolt up to any model.
shocks and springs, both front and rear of a 2wd cossie will fit any other model.
