90q brake conversion & CO adjustment question

[Jim Dupree]

Richard,
My plan was to use the complete front suspension from the 90q, struts,
a-arm, ball joints, brake calipers, rotors, sub-frame, axles & CV joints.
the only part I planned to reuse from the 4kq are the springs and the almost
new turbo boge gas strut inserts.  Two things I was concerned with was if
the inner CV joints from the 90q will bolt to the 4kq trans and if the axle
length was OK.
Thanks
Jim
