2007 sedan->2012 hatch sky

[jova87]

So guys it looks like I'll be trading my 07 sedan for a '12 hatch skyactiv.
I'm curious if the suspension is the same(can I take my koni yellows/prokit/sway bars from my 07 sedan and drop it in my 2012 sky hatch??).

Any help. Great

The Koni's and ProKits, yes.
Pretty sure not the sway bar.

send a pm to fuzoria (or however its spelt) he put the 1st gen konis on his 2nd gen. they work but i think you just need a longer bolt in the rear that you can get at mazda

^^^That.

Yeah, RSB won't work.

Good memory Gab. :)

Already replied to a msg from jova, but in case anyone needs further confirmation:

Prokits: sit somewhere between the 2010 Prokits and 2010 Sportlines, around 1.25" to 1.5" drop. I have around two fingers of gap up front, 2.5 for the rear wheels.

Front Shocks: identical between each gen.

Rear Shocks: identical damping properties, but the second gen shocks have a smaller "knuckle", meaning extended length bolts are necessary (as gab mentioned). Mazda part number is 9YA0-2A-228B and cost around $7 each (need a pair, obviously).
