    Can front struts from a TYP89 fit on a 4k?  I have been told this is
true.  It was done with a pair of single piece struts from a TYP89 80 FWD,
the only TYP89 with single piece struts in the US.  Those struts from the 80
were fitted in the front of a 4k and then G60's were used with 15" rims over
them.
    If it is possible to fit the TYP89 front struts into a 4k then it is
entirely possible to fit any number of big brake kits to a 4k.  I know for a
fact that Bira stuff will fit because I run it on my 80 with 4 bolt custom
Coleman rotors.  I know the 2Bennett big reds will work with the TYP89
strut, Javad can attest to that.  The Mov'it kit will also fit on the TYP89
strut as I know a fellow in Germany who ran that big red kit.

    I am almost certain single piece TYP89 80 FWD struts will bolt right up
to a 4k.  The ball joints are the same diameter, 17mm.  The cv's used in the
4k will slide right into the 80 FWD single piece strut hub, the 2 piece
struts use different cv's.  My wager is that with TYP89 80 FWD front struts
fitted to a 4k then it is entirely possible to fit big brakes or G60's.
