I like the larger discs and calipers. Also I never understood why anyone would put bent rods on critical systems like steering, or not go from knuckle to knuckle with the tie rod.

Other than all the work I like it! :smiley-laughing021:

It can be a spendy upgrade, but from everything I have heard (I've read alot on this mod) it's extremely beneficial, and a worthwhile project....providing you have the time, funds, and means of course.

I have read about this swap on NAXJA also. I think the reason for welding the spacers is because he didn't use the WJ unit bearings. If you use the WJ stuff all the way you should not have to use the spacers. Also, he flipped the tie rod and chose to weld the inserts. My opinion is you should not do that because they are split and need to expand so they are tight
