Has anyone put a Superstrut suspension on their 6th gen yet? I'm going for it and the only thing I can think of that will be a problem is the drive axels and the tie rods on the steering rack... which is why i bought that steering rack from you manny..... so I could dissasmble the steering rack and reassmble it with the funny tie rods.

Ya... Pretty brakes... which also happen to be 4 Pot, Aliminum Bodied, with 13" rotors... There is nothing easier (IMHO) than using the front cradle of a GT4... I was simply looking for someone else who has done it... my mind was made up on it to use them unless there was some ungodly fitmint issues - hence the post

It's as easy as building a bracket to extend the knuckle outward to the calper can bolt on to the spindle and clear the rotor. This sort of stuff has been done time and time again on different cars. I even drew you a little diagram on how easy it is...  BTW... the GT4 brakes are nearly identical to 4x4 truck brakes...
