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.

The BEST and EASIEST solution is to order an LHD GT4 steering rack. This will be a bit expensive and you gotta deal with the UK probably, but this is the best way to achieve what you want in my opinion, both for safety and reliability. (that and you might as well order the figure 8s ect. while you are doing it)
