Liam,
Officially I believe it won't work. The suspension geometry is different between the cars e.g. the relative lengths of the wishbones are altered
and the positioning of the BJ holes in the uprights are different plus a few other things!
What actually happens in the real world is a different matter though. With our roads and driving skills (speaking for myself  ) would we notice a
difference?
Anyway, point is, I'd be interested to know what difference it makes (if any!) so if you find out post it! 
Cheers,
James

On my Locost GTS kit, ive found that you end up with at least a different length top wishbone in order to get the right camber.
The other issue is that unless you shorten the lower wishbone as well the track width is 3" wider at the front than the rear.
Kind regards,
Darren
