2011 Avante Build Thread with comparison to original 1988 Avante

[nismo]

This question was asked on another forum,so i tot i share the findings here too.

Q: Would the rere avante shock fit the original?
A: Yes, but do take notes that the front n rear shock are different on both the rere & original.
Front: 1988 - 64.5mm ~ 2011 - 62mm
Rear: 1988 - 83.4mm ~ 2011 - 85.8mm

I will upload photos of the comparsion soon.

Oh, on a sidenote, the practise bumper is different.
