s197 parts compatibility

[Corpo]

Just wondering if there is a list some where on what parts work between 05-09 to 10-14. Someone I know with a 14 is interested in some of my old parts off my 05. Tokico d-spec shocks/struts, eibach pro-kit springs, and j&m camber plates.

I am suspecting they won't work for him, but I would like to be 100% sure.

Thanks.

Everything swaps over suspension wise. The only major differences are the way the front struts are cut and the length of the rear UCA and the UCA mount. The 05-10's is 1" shorter than 11-14 and the mount is different. The front strut being cut differently isn't an issue so long as he uses the correct strut mounts. IE: If you have 05-10 struts for your 11-14, you need 05-10 strut mounts. If you have 11-14 struts for your 05-10, you need 11-14 strut mounts. There is a slight additional drop by mounting 05-10 struts on an 11-14 of like a quarter inch IIRC.

I think the front A Arm mounts are different as well?

You can mount an 05-10 arm on the 11+ K-member. Biggest different is balljoint diameter. Forgot that one. Thanks!

'11+ GTs have larger front brake rotors and correspondingly different calipers. They swap directly onto earlier models for a cheap brake upgrade.

All '11+ V6 models have the 8.8" rear with positraction.

I can vouch for this. If you have camber plates such as Maximum Motorsports they provide spacers which will allow you to use 05-10 struts on an 11-14 car with no additional parts.
