be aware that they use a pinch bolt rather than a taper and top nut. So the MAXI ball joint will not fit.

that could be a bonus especially if you have acouple of mk5,6,7 escort arms hanging around.drill out the rivets and remodel the lower wishbone to suit
also the way the calipers fit to the upright is different too so youd need some calipers theyre four pots bonus but they are heavy got a pair slung under my lathe as too much hassle to fit to standard uprights

Yeah, if ya can find ezzy ball joint you can use them with a bit of work.



I doubt it's worth spending the money as the 4pots are probably overkill for most applications.
