front strut transplant from ZT 190 tourer to 75 CDTi Tourer
 

Is it feasible to transplant complete front struts inc brakes from face lift ZT-T V6 190 to Mk 1 75 CDTi Tourer.?
Any issues with springs, ride height etc
Or ECUs

Will rear suspension need changing?

thanks in anticipation

Advice requested
 

Any guidance re compatibility of springs, ride height, dampers would be welcome

I don't know the answer I'm afraid, however, a comparison of part compatibility on the Rimmer Brothers website could be a starting point if nobody else answers!

Would the 15" 75 wheels clear the 190 calipers ? I'm doubtful..
Certainly the ZT front end would sit quite a bit lower and be firmer than the rear so it would look somewhat strange.
I would advise staying with 75 parts.
Cheers Ian

As far as I know the parts would be compatible but if changing the brakes from a 190 variant then the standard 75 wheels (apart from the Starspokes I think) wouldn’t fit over the larger calipers.

The 75 would look lower of course, and handle better with a firmer ride. That’s down to personal choice but to answer your question, yes, in principle, you can do it.

Thanks for comments - in fact mine are 16" wheels but would probably still be a problem.
It was just a thought - with a pair of struts available from a friend.
