Swapping newer 93+ suspension parts to 91

Hi All,

I'm prepping my 93 3S-GE for sale. However, I have these parts that I want to swap onto the 91. Anything I need to be mindful of when moving down from a 93 to 91?

Tokico Illumina Adjustable Struts Tein - ALL corners
Springs (1.5" drop) All corners
High & Tight Rear Sway Bar End Links
Prothane Rear C-Arm and Strut Rod Bushings (black)
Prothane Rear Sway Bar Bushings (black)
Rear Ball Joints

Or should I just replace the struts/springs...


A.

with stiffer springs and the resulting lower amount of body roll the 91 vs 93 crossmember & toe links isn't as big a difference

Just so I'm following...

One point of view by swapping of the struts/springs the sway won't be much of an issue.

Although swapping the rest of items might also help.

Okay - sounds good, thanks for the feedback.

Now the real question, are there any differences from the 93 housing than a 91. Or can I pull them off the 93 and move them right over to the 91? Struts and springs...the rest of the gear?
