Keep in mind that GK lower arms will give you ~10-15mm extra track a side, because they're that much longer.
The 2-bolt struts and steering knuckles should just bolt straight to the early ball joints anyway?

hmm, i wonder how much camber that would give me...
if you reckon the struts themselves will bolt to either ball joints i might just have to get the struts and LCA's, doesnt sound like i can go wrong :)

cheers,

Strut top will be fine, and I can have a look and see about the ball joints if you're stuck. It's a bit of a PITA but I'm always happy to help out a fellow S-G member :thumpsup:

Can anyone confirm that the GK-GJ-GN steering knuckle will bolt onto the GE-GH ball joint?
