Ok I understand swapping the struts for the 5 lug conversion.
The 930 tie rod swap makes sense. Why swap the arms, crossmember, torsion bars? The torsion bars are heavier and at a rate meant for a heavier car. The aluminum crossmember although it is lighter it is known to fail due to fatigue / corrosion The geometry of the arms looks to be identical, so no advantage there. So why spend the money on it? Help me understand why people spend the money. |
