suspension for the 530 is made for the weight of a I6 engine and suspension for the 545 is made for the weight of a V8 engine.

I know the weight is not the same. But it will fit right? He is selling the car so I dont think he cares. Or possibly he can use my shocks and I could try and find some springs on here?

Haha that would suck for the new owner. If you fitted a 545 onto a 530 the front end would ride higher, so it'll be noticeable.

My Koni Yellow sport shocks/struts are from/for a 545 and they sit very nicely with NO issues in over 20,000 miles.
