Evo parts on a T4

Ross Parker · Feb 28th, 2015, 12:49

Had a T4 years ago and just purchased another. I remember people saying that some early evo parts fit. Can anyone confirm which bits?

Mainly suspension, if you look though a site such as Camskills youll see in the diagrams the parts that match up with the x40's i found the engine mounts for the gearbox were similar to.

I was wondering this the other day as i have some suspension parts that need changing out and thought about replacing with Evo bits.

Looking at the superflex website they only list front ARB under volvo and a load of bits under Evo 2/3. surely there isnt much difference in the rear suspension.

- The front anti roll bar bushings as mentioned (but you can find those listed under the s40 as well I think?), you can also use bushings for the front control arms.

- Megan racing has a set of rear adjustable toe/camber arms that should work (like these)
- The lower arm should also work (like this)
- If you don't go the direction of the full arm, there are two sets of bushings that you can put on the rear bits. I ordered these from superpro but imagine superflex has them as well, p# SPF1573K (Control Arm Lower-Inner * Outer Kit ) and #SPF1574K (Trailing Arm Front Bushing)
- The lower transmission mounts possibly with some fiddling on the bushing inserts but expect vibrations.
- There should also be a way to get the front brakes but I can't find the post.

I think most of that I discovered from FIREBOLT posts.

Did FIREBOLT ever finish the V40 4wd evo Frankenstein monster he was building?
