cordia front struts

Post by Scorpma82 »

Hi guys,

I've recently seen a black cordia racing around the Vic tracks

I noticed he had bigger brakes on the front....so after a quick question..he revealed that the car was running stock struts with galant (4 stud) hubs

he also revealed that these hubs are the same as a magna (4 stud) hubs.

So in theory, could you use the later model 5 spoke magna/lancer/galand hub for bigger (ventilated) rotors...and better still...could you use the 380 hub..with the twin piston calipers???



for the Sigma guys that are running cordia struts...this could be quite a nice lil upgrade

Some good information there but unfortunately the Galant he would have been referring would probably be the FWD or the AWD versions. I haven't actually heard of anyone actually using Cordia Struts on sigma's at all. I think you may be getting confused with the Starion struts and the cordia. Pretty much the only thing the Starions and the cordia had in common was the engine and even then it was still a narrow block vs a wide block.
