im a bit puzzled by this but please read on.
Background info:
This is related to EC5A Galant and EC5W Legnum VR4 front end suspension components and geometry.
One of the inherent flaws of the vr4 is poorly designed front suspension layout. the lower control arms need to be replaced about every 4 years and were actually one of the recalls from factory back in like 1999.
Idea:
Now, i know this isnt a big deal. Yeah, sure, replace the control arms every few years etc etc. but, i was thinking, perhaps i could dig around the Mitsubishi Parts bin and convert the suspension from multilink to macpherson strut.
Pros:
use off the shelf evo front coilover
camber correction/adjustment would be much easier
no lower control arm issues.
easy brembo compatible hubs for series one vr4s
no more explodo suspension
geometry correction for low cars
Cons:
never be done as far as i know
could end being very pricey.
Possible Method:
evo coilover with pillowball and camber top
evo hub/caliper/disk
evo lower control arm, rear mount may hav to be modified
swaybar mount: undecided.
just for reference, vr4 suspension is the same as 7G galant.
Thoughts?
