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.

I was planning on swapping over the entire subframe. So as long as I swap over the subframe and all of the suspension compnents, I will be okay as long as I extend the steering rack correct?
