Default 1st Gen Air Struts into my 2001. Yay or Nay?

Hello,

I am able to get the 1st gen Air struts, compressor, air bags, valves, etc, all necesary components for between $200-$300. This is one hell of a deal!

The 1st air struts are meant to be a direct bolt-on replacement of the 95-99 neons, so the same question applies to these air struts. Would they fit? My stock suspension has about 147k miles on them and I figured it was time to change it out.

So what do you guys think?

the 1stgen suspensionis different than the 2nd gen. they dont swap. you can put 1st gen stock springs on ur 2nd gen to lower it. but thats just springs and theyre still different parts. you may as well be trying to put honda struts on a cavalier. its going to take (probably heavy) fabrication.

So there isn't any kind of mounting brackets or anything that would do the trick?

like pre-fabbed brackets that adapt 1st gen susp. parts to 2nd gen? I doubt it. check with the company that makes the airbag kit. see if they offer 2nd gen kits and if you can just buy the brackets.
