Starion brakes and rotors bolt right onto an 81 scorpion correct?

I guess people are not too sure. Your Starions are different , so maybe the Scoprions too.

But over here you need to swap over the whole Strut assembly ;)

what about for the rear? It's good to find out te differences. It seems like there is about 1.5inches of differentce in the mounting bracket spacing betweeing a usdm 84 staz and a 81 scorp. All I know is I need to figure out something quick. These non vented front brakes with my 14b g54bt at 18lbs is gonna get me in trouble quick.

All parts required will need to be from a narrow 4 stud starion.

Rears will need the rotor and caliper which is a bolt on.
Fronts you will need the full strut assembly and knuckle arm. Springs should be identical as you can use the scorpion top hat on the starion spring.

if i reacall the widebody control arms are longer than the narrowbody and also the angle of the bearing mount is different also.

Shaun i still need to quote you on the parts.
