strut tower

I'm getting rid of my G5 and trading it in for an 06 SS, and I have eibach lowering springs mounted on KYB GR-2/Excel struts and shocks, I was wondering if I can just swap towers so I dont have to break them down and all that non sense. and I was wondering if the SS springs would affect the G5, as in lower it or anything the dealership would complain about? I know they should be swappable just fine but I'm not completely sure tho. thanks.

that what I was going to try. but the SS towers should be fine on the G5, in theory at least. even tho Im not worried about that part tho since at that point it won't be mine anymore.
but they should swap just fine tho correct?

By towers, you are talking about the whole strut assembly? Yes, they can cross over. SS springs are a very slight drop on a base model car, nothing that anybody will notice or complain about.

Yeah, you wont have a problem swapping them over. The strut towers themselves are not removable, but the strut assemblies (strut, strut mount, spring) come out in one piece by removing 6 bolts (3 on the strut mount, 2 on the strut, 1 on the endlink).
