Ga-gh

But some bits are different... But they "bolt" in

Brake hoses etc may need changing. So again... Just the strut housing will bolt in... The brakes and lines will differ

:thumpsup:

And remember, be carefull when changing between models.. As I've said, some parts are different and may need modifying... I'm not 100% sure.

Gh struts in my gb, all I need Is the sigma brake hose. That's it. But I now can not run any smaller that a 14" rim as the brake will foul. So if you wanna stay 13" wheels, stay clear of gh struts, unless you wanna run a spacer

Could i use the GC calipers to avoid that problem of the 14" wheels ?

Starion struts also fit with their knuckles too and their hub, but I'm sure they are like GH struts and require at least 14" wheels (no a galant caliper will not bolt onto a starion hub). Use your stock tops and springs on them and being that you guys didn't actually get widebody starions, flatties are the ones you would want. Scorpion also fit, but require use of their knuckles and hubs as well like Starions, both Starion/Scorpion use larger bolts and only two to bolt the strut to the knuckle.

Reason not use Widebody starion struts: require camber plates or other mods to correct the amount of positive camber you gained. I have widebody struts on my Coupe, but i took what I could get when I snatched the 5 lug hubs up to finish my 5 lug conversion.
