Hey guys. I'm planning on getting a 3rd gen front clip and it comes with all the front suspension and braking components. Since I don't want to go through the work, grinding things down and making custom brackets for the calipers. I was thinking about just swapping over the entire front suspension from the clip. Will the super strut suspension be a bolt on for me? I'd like to know, because I don't think its worth paying the extra 500 for the clip, because it comes with the calipers and rotors.

Yes, Superstruts Suspension is a bolt-on job. It uses the exact same mounting point as the normal McPherson suspension. Only problem you have, is that you probably can't use the S54 gearbox, you need a E56 gearbox with E56 axles. The splines of the E-series gearboxes are different than the ones of the S-serie, but I don't know this for sure. If the splines are the same, you can use the S54 gearbox.
If you interested, here in Holland they have a E56 gearbox for sale (850 Euro) and I have some spare axles (350 Euro). -------------------- |
