sn95 a arm swap + mstr cyl?

Bungy · December 2nd, 2010, 11:55 AM

Car is 89 lx 2.3 5spd. Going to 5 lug. Parts I have are: 2000 v6 a-arms, spindles, rotors, calipers. Rear is Aerostar 10" drums/axles.
My question is. How hard is it to change the inner tie rods on my 89 rack. I know I will need to do this to reach the longer a-arms. Can I just thread out old and thread in new? Do I have to take the rack completely apart? Can I swap on a 2000 rack to match?
Also with the dual piston front calipers, will I need a new master cyl? If so, one with a larger bore or smaller bore? Are the rear wheel cylinders from the Aerostar larger, smaller, or same as my old stock 9" units?
Also if it matters, this car will see 100% track time and NEVER see the street.

you dont need the v6 control arms, all you need is 94-95 balljoints.

Unless you are going for a wider track width, which I'm guessing you are because of the purpose of the car.

shouldn't need to upgrade the master cylinder unless you convert to discs in the rear as well.. then you'd have to mod/gut the prop valve as well
