Default AP2 Rear Subframe on AP1?

I know there was some suspension geometry changes in the rear for the AP2, but what I really need to know is if I can bolt a full rear AP2 subframe on an AP1 Chassis?

ABS Sensors are the same parts, so there shouldn't be an electrical issue. I haven't checked the prop shaft yet, I'm guessing it would have remained the same.

Any caveats anyone can think of here?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

There is no difference except the top control arms are different on the AP2. If you switch you will have to get AP2 top Control Arms they are a little wider then the AP1 at the mounting point in the subframe. You will also have to get top Control Arm mount bolts also they are longer. That what I'm running in my AP1
Good Luck

Actually I'm 95% sure there is a difference... in both rear subframes and control arms.that's how it can change the geometry. And it all bolts right up

Yes your 100% percent right there is a difference in the two subframes but they mount same in AP1 or AP2 but the top control arm and bolt is the only thing you will need with the AP2 subframe to mount in your AP1.
