i duno what year what ever look the same as IRS springs in height order they go torana then bmw then barina then camira u'll need good shocks thought cause it will bumpy as and if u have a au/ba falcon , torana springs will fit in the back of that too as they are IRS u'll just have to get the top locating coil opened up a bit more to fit in the falcon
