I have a feeling the lack of a driveshaft through the hub might cause some problems, but I wouldn't know for sure.

Thanks guys :beer
Im gonna try pull of the strut assy today and size it up. AB you may
be right about the drive shaft, but Im prepared to give it a go anyway.
Replacement shocks and springs were going to cost about $1500, So
if i can modify these for less ill have better suspension, Bigger brakes,
And i may even try to carry over the steering rack too :D
I will try to take photos as i progress :beer
