GT-Four Superstrut Suspension and Brake Conversion Questions.. Options

[black93hardtop]

I have read through tons of info about the differences between the standard McPherson and Superstrut Suspension systems but there is not a complete explination about doing the actual conversion (not that I found anyways).

I have a complete GT-Four Clip so I have the entire system BUT the clip is RHD. Im converting it over to a ST204 LHD... Do I need to use the GT-Four Rack and Pinion? If so its RHD... it wont work, correct.. What am I missing here..

Also, I am not doing any drivetrain swaps as of right now. I want the car on the road and want to tackle this one step at a time. Will the ST205 Axles work with the S54 Trans? Or will the standard axles in the car fit into the ST205 Hubs? Custom??

I would like to tackle this asap asuming Im not in over my head. I was going to just swap the entire subframe suspension, brakes... all in one shot. Let me know if Im crazy or this is more complex than Im thinking.


Thanks,
Brian




Oh, before anybody tells me how crappy the Superstrut system is and Im crazy for converting.... I know, I just want it...

nobody said it was crappy! only a bitch to maintain once you blow a join on the lower control arms or camber control arm then it get real expensive. Its truely a better geometry suspension set up.

read into the superstrut suspension thread. All the info is there! While there is now how to, all the parts needed to get it converted is listed on that thread.
