cutlsp Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 why would you do that if you have ffp coil overs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptnix Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 not talking about the whole assembly ... i just want 100% non rusted parts on this thing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildGS Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 why would you do that if you have ffp coil overs? Cause his subframe/lateral arms are WEAK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 course, long as you're talking about a pre-'97 GS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptnix Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 damn do they not line up or what ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I know the trailering arms would directly bolt in with no modifications. The lateral arms I think will fit but I'm not sure. If your pulling off Wildgs's car why not just pull them off and try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihela816 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 The lateral Arms and Trailing links will both fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 are the newer lateral arms stronger then the 88 ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihela816 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yes. They are tubular instead of sheet metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildGS Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I think the subframe mounts to the body with the same 4 bolts. I need to look at the knuckles closer, I am pretty sure the knckles have the same mounting points. I could just swap the whole rear cradle and keep the 96' cutty knuckles and bearings/brakes. should be easy enough. We have all the parts here as soon as I get a free moment I'll give it a shot!
